Gandhinagar: In a New Year boost for its frontline staff, the Gujarat Forest Department has issued a landmark promotion order, elevating 428 beat guards (vanrakshaks) across the state to the forester (vanpal) cadre. This marks the largest single-batch promotion in the department’s history.
Boost to Ground-Level Operations
The record decision will significantly strengthen the department’s base-level administrative framework. These newly promoted foresters will now shoulder greater responsibilities and authority in forest conservation and wildlife protection efforts. Long-waiting employees have welcomed the order with widespread enthusiasm and joy.
Momentum for Conservation Drives
Timely incentives and promotions for field workers sharpen their efficiency manifold. The induction of 428 new foresters will accelerate key initiatives:
- Forest Protection: Easier to curb illegal activities in wooded areas.
- Wildlife Safeguards: Faster monitoring and rescue operations for animals.
- Afforestation Projects: Stronger oversight of state government’s green cover expansion drives.
