To provide up-to-date training and educational exposures to foresters and scientists, arrangements were made for visits abroad for short and long term training courses, meetings, symposia and workshops. Financial assistance was provided by World Bank, UNDP, British Council, IPRC, FAO, INBAR and USDA under various forestry research and educational support programmes. In order to strengthen education in forestry disciplines, technical and financial assistance were also extended to various universities. Many students, industry representatives, teachers and various user groups, including farmers, were also trained on advanced technologies developed by ICFRE institutes.
