Regional Centres

The Board has seven Regional Centers (RCs) located in various universities / national level institutions. These centres help NAEB in promoting extension of replicable technologies and for dissemination of research findings. They provide technical and extension support to the State Forest Departments in preparing projects for regeneration of degraded forests and adjoining lands with people’s participation and also act as a forum for the exchange of idea and experiences amongst the States of the region as well as across the regions. In addition, these Centres carry out problem-specific studies as well as evaluation of NAEB’s Programmes in the field and organize training programmes and workshops.

The work programme of the RCs for the year 2006-07 will give priority to the emerging need of training of the trainers, so that a resource pool is created in the states for training of field level staff of the Forest Department in decentralized planning and management of forest under the Joint Forest Department in decentralized planning and management of forest under the Joint Forest Management Committee (JFMC) – Forest Development Agency (FDA) framework. Besides, new areas of development, such as training for forest- based micro-enterprise will also be given priority.
