Forest with new soldier

Tamil Nadu forest department was very weak in the strength of force. Over all most of the apws, watch guards, ranger, foresters are in the age of 40-50. As the nature of their work is to walk a day of at least 10 to 20 Kms according to their respective beat or range. The walking is not a race in which just the end should be reached as fast as possible. The walk of these people should be with all the sense (Eye, Nose, Ear) should be in active in order to protect the forest from the enmity such as the poachers, illegal trespass and to protect them from wild animals. So these people at this age as considered their it not possible for all the staffs to do the same with full efficiency.

So in an attempt to improve conservation measures and provide better protection for forest and wildlife in the State, the Forest Department has started recruitment of youths for the posts of Guard and Forester. 240 vacancies of Guards and 80 of Foresters being filled. Mr. A.S. Balanathan, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and the team of TNPSC team is yet to recruitment soldier for forest at the district level by District Forest Officers. Both Erode and Namakkal district had filled the posts.

Educational qualification for the post of Guard is pass in Plus Two. In the case of Forester they should be degree holders. Range officers yet to be recruit later. Hope the forest to be better protected with the help of these new soldiers.
