VISION
The vision of the Forest department is conservation, management and development of forests and tree growth on sustainable basis, for the present and the future generations. It envisages expansion of the forest and tree cover to one third of the geographical area of the state in consonance with the National Forest Policy, 1988. The focus of the department is on protecting the existing forests, greening all the barren areas of the state, and encouraging people to grow more and more trees in their lands so that the pressure on the natural forests is progressively reduced.
