15. Important Contributions made in Teaching / Research/ Extension
a) Teaching :
I have been teaching the B.Sc. (Forestry), M.Sc (For) and Ph.D (For) students since since 1995. I have handled many courses for undergraduates and post graduates. As a teacher and Member, Board of Studies (Forestry), I have involved and contributed in the revision of B.Sc. (Forestry) syllabus for the period 1999-2002, 2003-2006 and 2007-2010 and for M.Sc and Ph.D (Forestry) for the period 2000-2004 and 2004-2007 and 2008-2011. I have framed the syllabus for many B.Sc. (Forestry) courses viz., Agroforestry, Silviculture of Economic Trees, Forest Mensuration, Forest Management, Logging, Wood Seasoning and Preservation, Forest Seedling Production for undergraduate and agroforestry courses for M.Sc and Ph.D students of Forestry.I am guiding both M.Sc and Ph.D (Forestry) students in the field of Agroforestry. I am one of the teachers who took effort to produce 88 IFS officers from our college. At the capacity of Co-ordinator and Ward Counselor, I have been counselling, guiding and motivating the students to groom themselves and success in their studies and personal life.
b) Research :
I am the pioneer worker in Agroforestry Research since 1989. I am the Officer-Incharge for the All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Agroforestry and involved in Agroforestry Research at our Institute. I have been handling many projects on Agroforestry. I have received many external funded projects especially from ICAR, NOVOD, National Medicinal Plants Board, State Land Use Board, Department of Environment, ICFRE, etc.,I have evolved suitable agroforestry models for dry lands and marginal lands of Tamil Nadu and also identified high yielding indigenous fodder trees. Currently I am working on developing suitable simaruba with medicinal plants based agroforestry models for different agroclimatic zones of Tamil Nadu and Tree Borne Oil seeds based agroforestry system and Agroforestry based Integrated farming system.
c) Extension Education :
I have been delivering special lectures on agroforestry to farmers, agricultural officers and forest department staff. I have participated and created awareness on importance of Agroforestry at many village level programmes organized by NGOs. I have imparting training on Agroforestry to many farmers. I have been actively participating in the Farmers Day being conducted by our Institute. Regularly, I have been transferring the agroforestry technologies to the farmers through All India Radio and Doordarshan.
15. Additional Information :
I am working on Agroforestry since from 1989. Currently, I am leading the team of All India Co-ordinated Research Project on Agroforestry, sponsored by Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi as Officer in-Charge since 2002 at our Institute . I have been identified as technical expert for the agroforestry subject.
