| Program Description |
College of Forestry was established in this University in 1986. Since then, the College of Forestry was functioning as a constituent college of the Faculty of Agriculture till 2012. However, considering the importance of forestry education, a separate Faculty of Forestry was constituted in 2012. The College presently is under this faculty.
Developing manpower resources required for the state’s forestry, agroforestry, non-wood forest products, wildlife sciences, wood science, and social forestry sectors, is the principal mandate of the college. To cater to this requirement, a four year B. Sc. (Forestry) degree programme was started in 1986 and a master’s programme just preceded that. Until 2013, 284 B. Sc. (Forestry) and 99 M. Sc. (Forestry) candidates have graduated from this college. For undertaking teaching and research activities, five statutory departments viz., Silviculture and Agroforestry, Forest Biology and Tree Improvement, Natural Resource Management, Forest Products and Utilisation and Wildlife Sciences were also established. Ph. D. programmes were initiated in the year 2010.
