The Institute conducts extensive research on the subjects of Sustainable Forest Management, Forest Genetics and Biotechnology, Forest Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation, Forest Health, Wood Science and Technology, Forestry and Human Dimension and Forest Management and Information. The Institute also has a well oriented extension and training division and a library with a valuable collection of books and journals. The Institute encourages collaborative research with other Government Departments, Universities, Institutions, Industries and International Agencies. I hope the information given on the webpage will be of great help to the viewers. Suggestions for improving the website are welcome.
