About the Recruiter
The journey of ICFRE was initiated way back towards the end of the nineteenth century with the advent of scientific forestry in India and the establishment of the Forest School in Dehradun in 1878. It was on 5th June 1906 subsequently that the Imperial Forest Research Institute was founded by Government of India for taking forward forestry research in the country. In 1986 the Indian Council of Forestry Research and Education or ICFRE was formed as an umbrella organisation for taking care of forestry research, education and extension needs of the country. Finally on 1st June 1991, the ICFRE was declared an autonomous Council under the then Ministry of Environment and Forests and registered as a Society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860.Presently, ICFRE with its Headquarters at Dehradun is an apex body in the national forestry research system that promotes and undertakes need based forestry research extension.
During the past 5-6 years, the organization has made crucial/critical contribution to the national economy by way of enhancing the green cover in the country in forest landscapes as well as under agroforestry; increasing wood productivity; enhancing wood durability through preservation techniques; developing composite woods; enhancing local livelihoods; etc. Highlights of some of these contributions are given below:
1- Enhancing Green Cover and Wood Productivity
i - Eucalyptus and Poplar based Agroforestry systems: ICFRE has popularized Eucalypts and Poplar based agroforestry system over more than 3000 km2 area. Successfully introduced Poplar in agroforestry practices in Bihar on pilot basis, and 66.70 lakh plants have been supplied to the farmers in Vaishali district between 2006 and 2012.
ii - Casuarina Breeding Program: 20-year Casuarina Breeding Program resulted in establishment of Second Generation Seedling Seed Orchards and Clonal Seed Orchards with release of 7 high yielding clones of Casuarina equisetifolia and 7 high yielding clones of Casuarina junghuhniana. The clones of Casuarina junghuhniana, especially ‘CJ9,’ have proved to be very fast growing and are much sought. Reduced the rotation age from 5 years with local seed to 3 years with improved seed. Used the improved germplasm in the form of seed and clonal material in establishing plantations over more than 9,000 hectares. The productivity gain of 13% to 28% has been recorded for plantations raised with seed from first generation seed orchards. The Casuarina plantations over new areas with improved seed have also resulted in an estimated increased biological nitrogen production worth Rs. 9.5 crore.
iii- Improvement of Poplar Clones: Introduced many improved and disease resistant clones viz. S7C8, 82-35-4, 113324 into large scale Poplar plantations in 2000 and re-evaluated performance of G48 clone. G48 clone alone constitutes more than 50% of the total Poplar being planted in north-west India. These improved clones are free from leaf blight disease and yield 15-20% higher volume than that recorded for the earlier clones.
iv - Development of High-Yielding Eucalypts Clones: Developed many high yielding and disease resistant hybrid clones of Eucalypts. Developed and released 11 clones of Eucalyptus camaldulensis during 2011 and 2014. These clones have demonstrated a genetic gain of 17% in height and 14% in DBH.
v - Disease Resistant Shisham Clones: Released a disease resistant clone DS-4 of Shisham.
vi - Melia (Melia dubia) Improvement Program (2008-2021): Identified and tested 10 cultivars with long straight boles and an average yield that is more than double the average yield of the non-selected germplasm.
2- Technologies developed and Patented
Developed Technologies in support of Rural & Tribal Livelihoods
i - Developed a bio-polymer based binding material (Jigat) for incense sticks from the locally available bio-resources (environmentally safe and produced about 60% of the cost of the imported binding material). About 36,000 metric tonnes of binding material (Jigat) worth Rs. 432 crore (Rs. 120 per kg) is being used every year by the Industries.
ii - Developed Samridhi – Multiplying Benefits from Silkworm Rearing causes reduction of the cocoon spinning period to just 15-18 hours.
iii - Standardizing lac cultivation techniques on Flemingia semialata, an evergreen native shrub, resulting in much higher yield per acre and average annual returns of about Rs. 80,000.
iv - Developed a simple equipment to treat bamboo culms and also developed an environmentally safe treating agent.
v - Developed bio growth enhancers under brand names Tree Rich Bio-booster, Vermico-IPM, and N-Fixer (with Frankia). N-Fixer with Frankia is especially very useful in raising successful Casuarina nursery and plantations.
vi - Developed Crawl Clean - a green insecticide developed from leaf powders of 5 plant species (Melia dubia, Pongamia pinnata, Aristolochia bracteata, Adhatoda vasica & Vitex negundo) - to control Papaya Mealy Bug on forestry tree species like Teak. Also developed a pesticidal formulation based on surfactants for managing shoot borers from non-edible oil seeds of Karanja (Pongamia pinnata) and Ritha (Sapindus mukorrosi) without any emulsifier and preservatives.
Technologies patented: Important patents granted/in process in recent years
i - An Apparatus for treatment of green bamboo (granted)
ii - A Vacuum Kiln (in process)
iii - An eco-friendly, economical and non hazardous wood preservative (ZiBOC) (granted)
iv - A process for obtaining Phyto-ecdysteroids from weeds of amaranthaceae for the synchronized maturation of mulberry silkworm' (in process)
v - EuGalLure- Plant volatile for trapping Eucalyptus Gall wasp, Leptocybe invasa (in process)
vi - Composition of Soap (in process)
vii - An adhesive composition comprising defatted Shorea robusta(Sal) seeds (in process)
viii - A pesticidal formulation based on surfactants from not edible oil seeds (in process)
The Council has a pan India presence with its 9 Regional Research Institutes and 5 Centers in different bio-geographical regions of the country. Each Institute has a history of its own and under the umbrella of ICFRE are directing and managing research, extension and education in forestry sector in the states under their jurisdiction. The regional research Institutes are located at Jodhpur, Dehradun, Shimla, Hyderabad, Coimbatore, Ranchi, Bengaluru, Jorhat and Jabalpur, and the centres are at Agartala, Aizawl, Allahabad, Chhindwara and Visakhapatnam.
