Around 28 DFOs and 24 Forest Guards were trained in the use of GPS, sampling techniques, KMZ file uploading on National Green Portal and Forest Inventory data collection, which will be used for the preparation of National Forest Inventory.
Addressing the participants in the concluding session of the training programme, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF) Suresh Chugh said that in this era of technology, it is essential that DFOs and frontline forest personnel including Forest Guards are trained in latest technologies like use of GPS, remote sensing, e-green watch etc to facilitate information sharing for better protection and management of forests.

Later PCCF interacted with the experts from Forest Survey of India as well as with the trainee forest officers/ officials.
