Section 104 in Management and Working of the Forests
104. Visit of Forest Officers to Forest Research Institute
, (Circular No. 13F-190-1, dated 3rd July, 1912, from the Government of India.). - I am directed to invite a reference to paragraphs 1 (b) and 3 of this Department's Circular no. 7-190-24-F., dated the 24th April 1911, dealing with Resolution no. XIII passed by the Board of Forestry in March 1910, in which it was recommended that selected forest officers should be allowed to visit Dehra for the study of any particular subject in which they desire to carry out research work. It will be seen that the matter was left over for further consideration. Two years have now elapsed since the Board of Forestry made their recommendation, and during this time the work at the Forest Research Institute has made great progress. The Government of India consider it is of great importance that all Gazetted Forest Officers should be in touch with the Research Institute and keep themselves acquainted with the work and investigations which are in progress there, and, though deputations for special duty have not yet been arranged for, they will be glad to see all promising officers encouraged to pay short visits to Dehra of, say, ten days or a fortnight, during which time they would be able to inspect the Museums, the Chemical Laboratory, and the Herbarium. They would thus gain a general knowledge of the investigations which have been and are being undertaken-and of the widespread effects that these may be expected to have on the silvicultural treatment of the forests and on the development of forestry in general.
