Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar expressed happiness over the consistent increase in number of women forest officers.
Javadekar also released an e-book titled: “The Green Queens of India – A nation’s pride” at the virtual event which is a compilation of case studies, best practices and life experiences as shared by the woman officers themselves in what may truly be termed as a creative common collective.
This book is a compilation of case studies to motivate scores of young women across the country who aspire to live and work with nature as a forest officer.
The performance of women officers is exemplary as they face tough challenges in proving themselves through physically demanding and male dominated arena in forest service.
