As part of the Forest Survey Course for IFS (Probationers) 2024โ26, the Geodetic & Research Branch, Survey of India had the privilege of engaging with 114 Indian Forest Service (IFS) Probationers through a series of academic and field-based learning sessions.
From 5th to 9th May 2025, the officers participated in a week-long training programme at IGNFA, Dehradun, featuring comprehensive lectures on Geodesy, GNSS, and Surveying by Shri Bhaskar Sharma and Shri CHVSS Prasad, Officer Surveyors from NIGST, Hyderabad. These sessions were complemented by hands-on practicals led by the UKGD team of Survey of India.
As a continuation of this initiative, the probationers visited the G&RB Museum on 14th and 15th May 2025, where they explored the Survey Museum and were introduced to the Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) infrastructure. The visit provided first-hand insights into the application of geospatial and geodetic technologies in natural resource management and environmental governance.
The Survey of India extends sincere thanks to Shri Kunal Angrish, Course Director, for his efforts in coordinating both the training and the visit. The occasion was marked by a warm exchange, with the officers presenting a memento to Survey of India officialsโsymbolising institutional collaboration and mutual respect.
