Compulsory Training Programme for IFS officers


 The need for updating knowledge and skills of IFS officers on specific professional issues was realized in the mid eighties.  As a consequence to that, short courses sponsored by the Ministry of Environment & Forests addressing several important contemporary issues are organized by about  30 institutions every year since 1986. These are short duration courses of one, two or three weeks duration.  The Academy has been organizing one week compulsory training on Policy and Legal Issues in Forestry for the In-Service IFS officers for some years now.
