The North Eastern Region of India is an enchanting land of Blue Mountains and hills, green valleys, plateaus and rivers. This region of our country is blessed with vast forest resources. Rare species of flora and fauna are also available here & as such this region is ideal for forestry research, education and training.
The Government of India in the year 1976, established the first State Forest Service College in the country at Burnihat so as to impart 1 1/2 years professional forestry training to the State Forest Service Officers of our country and also conduct short term refresher courses periodically. The college comes under the Directorate of Forest Education, Ministry of Environment and Forests, which has its headquarters in Dehradun.
