FOREST DEPARTMENT USES STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY -INDIA

Forest Department of Himachal Pradesh will be using a GPS based monitoring technology to carry out plant verification (area and date of plantation, details like total number of saplings planted, number of surviving plants, details of tree species, the height and the number of diseased and dead plants), check dams and other works. This technology will help forest authority to collect information without field verification and it also captures pictures of work in progress.
