 FPM 2010 Written Test Results
PROGRAMME
The IIFM stands in a responsible position to meet the
requirements of the changing scenario in the forestry and allied
sector. It is constantly striving to update itself and
accordingly respond to the needs of all concerned stakeholders.
Given the emerging, and much-needed, emphasis on biodiversity
conservation and ecological and economical role that the forests
play, IIFM suitably modifies its focus, activity frame and
course structure to successfully meet these needs. The National
Forest Policy of 1988 strongly advocated ‘participatory regime’
in forest management and opened avenues for non-government
agencies to work in forestry and related environmental and
socio-economic sectors. Involvement of NGOs
in the areas of social forestry, watershed development, joint
forest management, and collection and sale of NTFP, thus,
started expanding. All these activities not only require
human-power, possessing a desired blending of skills of forestry
and management sciences but also need the professional
assistance and guidance for capacity building, project
implementation and monitoring. Therefore,
IIFM through its educational, training, research and consultancy
activities has planned to endeavor to meet this emerging need.
The FPM is a doctoral level program
designed to develop and equip students for career opportunity in
management education and research in the following faculty areas
of specialization :
