FOREST EDUCATION AND TRAINING

Expansion of forestry education to cater to the increasing needs is an essential activity for achieving the goal of Forest Conservation. It is necessary that the officers occupying important position in State Forest Departments should have adequate background in the field of Forestry. IGNFA conducts training programmes for Indian Forest Service probationers. Besides refresher training courses for IFS Officers under the Scheme "Training of IFS Officers" are organized through premier management institutes of India. State Forest Service (SFSC) take care of training needs of State Forest Service Officers. Training of Range Officers is conducted in Rangers college. To develop managerial skills of specialization relating to conservation, optimum utilization and increasing production and conservation, productivity over space and time in forest based products as well as large afforestation and social forestry programme, there is the "Indian Institute of Forest Management". The Institute conducts a number of training programmes including a two year post graduate diploma course in forest management and one year M.Phil programme in Resource Management.

To ensure proper forestry education in universities, financial assistance is provided to State Agricultural Universities through a scheme viz., Forestry Education. The scheme is under implementation in a number of State Agricultural Universities. The assistance is given through ICFRE. The purpose of the assistance is to support B.Sc. Forestry course and to set up separate faculty of forestry in the universities. About 300 graduates are being benefitted under the scheme every year. During 1996-97, the various schemes under Forestry Education and Training will be continued.

FORESTRY RESEARCH

Intensification for forest research towards fuller development of the forest resources and its proper utilization is one of the important objectives of this Ministry. To achieve this objective "Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education (ICFRE)" was set up in December, 1986 by restructuring of Forest Research Institute and Colleges. From 1st Jure,1991, the ICFRE became an autonomous body of this Ministry.

The objectives of the ICFRE are as under:

• To undertake programme and coordinate forestry education, research and its application.
• To develop and maintain National Information Centre for forestry and allied services.
• To act as a clearing house for research and general information relating to Forest and Wildlife.
• To develop Forest Extension Programme.
• To provide consultancy services in the field of Forestry Research Education and Training.

Forest Research Institute (FRI) under ICFRE is centre of excellence in Forestry research. Other Institutes of ICFRE take care of research needs in different geographical regions for carrying out research on different aspects of forestry.

These institutes will pursue their ongoing activities during 1996-97;

A World Bank Aided Project namely ‘Forestry Research, Education and Extension Project’ had been taken up by ICFRE for a period of five years starting from 30th of September, 1994. The total outlay of the project is 56.48 m US$. Consequently the budgetary requirements of ICFRE have increased.

For research and development in respect of Plywood and allied products there is a separate Institute "Indian Plywood Industries Research and Training Institutes" (IPIRTI). The Institute renders technical services to manufacturing units with a view to making optimum utilization of available raw material for the manufacture of plywood and allied products. The institute serves as an information, training and testing centre for wood based industries. In the year 1996-97, the Institute will continue its research, extension, demonstration and training activities.

Grants-in-aid will continue to be provided from this Ministry to Central Zoo Authority in 1996-97 to provide assistance to zoos for their development on scientific lines besides improvement in technical skill of Management.

Funds are required by National Zoological Park (NZP) to conserve and breed rare and endangered animals, and to complete the modifications suggested by Central Zoo Authority under "Recognition of Zoo Rules 1992" and take up new construction for whlch a grant of Rs. 5 lakhs on the plan side and Rs. 212.60 lakhs on the non-plan side is very essential.

There are various centrally sponsored schemes for providing assistance to State Government for wildlife preservation. Under the Scheme "Assistance for development of National Parks and Sanctuaries", assistance is provided to state governments-100t for non recurring items of development works for protection of wildlife in National Parks, 50% assistance on selected recurring items is also provided. During 1996-97, 220 Sanctuaries and 55 National Parks are expected to get assistance under the scheme.

Programmes for eco-development around various national parks and sanctuaries aim at augmentation of fuel, fodder and other usufruct supply in a sustainable manner and improving the quality of life for the rural people. Protected areas including Tiger Reserves will be assisted during 1996-97 under the scheme "Eco-development around National Parks and Sanctuaries including Tiger Reserves". Training programmes aim at development of Management Planning capabilities during 1996-97.

Project Elephant which was launched in 1991-92 shall continue during the year 1996-97 to provide assistance for 23 areas in 12 identified elephant states on 100k basis for improving existing elephant habitats and restoration of their migratory routes. Project Tiger which was launched in 1973, shall continue during 1996-97 to provide assistance for management and development of 23 Tiger Reserves in 14 States covering an area o f 33, 000 sq kms.

For ensuring better management of the protected areas, Wildlife Institute of India conducts training courses to train managers and biologists. Wildlife; Institute of India is an autonomous body and gets grants-in-aid from this Ministry. The Institute also provides advisory and consultancy services to the Central and State Governments. The activities of 1996-97 of the Institute include development of the new campus, updating computer facilities, conducting the regular and some courses, initiation of new research programme etc In addition the UNDP-FAO project assisted training programme of "Eco- development and Management Planning capabilities" will be continued.
