JK Govt Approves On-the-Job Training for IFS Probationers

Jammu, January 30, 2025 – The Government of Jammu and Kashmir has sanctioned an On-the-Job Training Programme for Indian Forest Service (IFS) probationers of the 2023 batch. The order, issued by the Department of Forest, Ecology & Environment, grants approval for the deployment of Mr. Ashish Bishnoi and Mr. Atharva Tiwari in various offices for their practical training.

According to Government Order No. 19-JK (FST) of 2025, the probationers will undergo training across different forest divisions, administrative offices, and field sites as per the schedule detailed in Annexure “A” of the order.

Training Details

The training will include attachments with:

Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF) Office, Jammu

State/UT Administrative Training Institute (IMPARD, Jammu)

District Administrations of Baramulla and Udhampur

5 Police Officers Transferred in Udhampur District

The training duration varies across departments, spanning from one week to eight weeks, under the mentorship of senior IFS officers.

Objectives of the Training

The programme aims to provide probationers with hands-on experience in forest governance, administration, and conservation strategies. The initiative is expected to enhance their practical knowledge before assuming independent roles in the service.
