Dear All, Forestry Alumni Association, Ponnampet - FORAL invites you for a Workshop on *"Forestry Research, Education and Extension: present Scenario and Future Prospects"* - a policy documentation workshop. Though practicing Scientific Forestry existed more than a century ago, Forestry education in University level started only in the year 1985 in Agricultural Universities. Now we have around 23 institutes in India which impart Forestry Education. Change and revival in structure is part of Education system. Twenty Five batches have been completed in imparting Forestry Education covering detailed study in Silviculture, Management, Utilization, Forest Biology, Tree Improvement and Wildlife. To have a review on Research, Education and Extension in forestry, a workshop is being organized by FORAL to develop a Policy document with suggestions on improvement.
