HISTORY
:
Forestry
Research in Uttar Pradesh, started way back in 1918 with the
appointment of Mr. E.A. Smithies, of Indian Forest Service as
State Silviculturist. Later on, with gradual expansion of the
research setup, two more Silviculturists were appointed. The
need for intensive research to increase the overall
productivity of the forest was realized and as a result State
Forest Research Laboratory was established at Kanpur in 1970.
Subsequently this laboratory was upgraded into the State
Forest research institute, in 1993.
OBJECTIVES
:
The research wing of UPFD, including the SFRI, Kanpur has been
given the responsibility of undertaking the scientific
research, development and application in forestry and allied
natural resources, leading to development of appropriate
technologies for efficient management and utilization of trees
and other forest resources through increased sustainable
availability of trees / forest products and their, associated
services for all time.
Location
:
SFRI, Kanpur, is located centrally in the state of Uttar
Pradesh. It is about 90 Kms south of Lucknow. The campus forms
the part of famous Allen forest in the northern part of Kanpur
city. Kanpur is well connected by Air as well as Rail. The
nearest Airport, Amousi (Lucknow) is about 80 Kms. Kanpur
Central Railway station is about 8 Kms. from FRI campus.
Organization
:
Forest Research Institute , Uttar Pradesh, is headed by the
Chief Conservator of Forests, who is also the Director of the
Institute. The Head-Quarter of Silviculturists, Southern
Region is also located in the campus. The Institute has two
more regional-centers – one at CB Ganj, Bareilly, and
another at Ram Nagar (Varanasi) head by the State
Silviculturist. The state Silviculturist are the senior
members of the Indian Forest Service. Each Silviculturist is
being assisted by an assistant Silviculturist who is a member
of state forest service. Each regional-center of the institute
has further centers of specialty for conducting field trials.
FRI, UP has facilities of conducting Laboratory as well as
Field Research relating to various aspects of forestry. The
major thrust areas of forestry research are as follows :
1.
Increasing Productivity of the Forests through Tree
improvement
programmes.
2.
Planting Material Improvement.
3.
Supply of Quality Seeds.
4.
Development of Suitable Planting Techniques for Refractory
Areas.
5.
ex-situ as well as in-situ conservation of Medicinal Plants.
6.
Development of suitable Agro-Forestry Models.
7.
Ecology and Pollution related studies.
8.
Standardization of Cultivation Techniques of some important
Medicinal Plants.
9.
Evaluation of suitability of various Silvicultural Systems.
10.
Publications of Technical Bulletins as well as Lab. to land
leaflets.
