11. Forestry extension

The forestry extension programme of ICFRE plays a vital role in connecting research institutes with the end users through transfer of technology and extension support to State Forest Departments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), etc. The Programme also facilitates research collaboration with various organizations and establishment of synergic linkage with user groups.

Extension is carried out in a two-way process. On one hand, tested technologies and scientific information are transferred to the users and, on the other hand, requirements of the users are ascertained for evolving research priorities and researchers are kept abreast with the realities in the field. The extension methodologies presently adopted are demonstrations on the field and the use of extension materials such as films, videos, brochures, hand arts, and exhibitions, workshops, seminars and conferences, as well as by personnel contracts.
