Hi Aspirants,
This story is of a very good friend of mine. Someone who has defied many odds. He started as a dreamer — just like all of us, went to Delhi to fulfil that dream (my senior batch in Vajiram & Ravi).
The perseverance is reflected in the spirit of Never Giving Up. We both were selected in the Advt. 40/201819 and he was selected as Mamlatdar. Now, those of you who don't know, it becomes next to impossible to study in the district postings, and he had 3 additional charges as well — so NO Leaves.
Despite these challenges he appeared for Advt.10/2019-20, where he missed by a fraction despite getting the rank. But that didn't have negative impact on him. In fact, he took positive lessons from the failure and got one of highest marks in the mains of Advt. 26/2020-21 and got the 1st rank. Congratulations Adarsh!
I hope this inspires all of you to never ever give up, no matter the odds, you'll succeed one day.

Since India's goal is 33% of forest cover and scarcity of land we'll focus on out of forest tree cover as mentioned in draft NFP, 2021 - Environment Minister
I.e agro, farm & social forestry, Urban forests ( woodlands, gardens, Avenue plantation, herbal garden ) through ppp as part of urbanism to address desertification, land degradation and improve ease of living
Biennial India State of Forest Report (ISFR) 2021 - Forest Survey of India .
-3 cat of forests are surveyed
1)very dense forests (canopy density > 70%)
2)moderately dense forests (40-70%)
3)open forests (10-40%).
Scrubs (< 10%) are surveyed but not categorised as forests.
-First time tiger reserve forest area counted - pakke tiger reserve of AR has highest cover
-😍 forest cover increased from 21.67%( 2019 ) to 21.71%( 2021) -Total forest area is now 7,13,789 square kilometres. Which is 1540 sq km higher than 2019.
-😍 top 10 countries in terms of forest cover, with Brazil #1 (59.4%) Peru#2 (56.5%)… India is among top-10
-😍 Mangroves cover increase 17 sq km. total mangrove cover is now 4,992 sq km.
-😍 The states that have shown the highest increase in forest cover are Telangana (3.07%), Andhra Pradesh (2.22%) and Odisha (1.04%)
😥 Five states in the Northeast – Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland have all shown loss in forest cover. 😥 Losers In NE: Arunachal Pradesh (418 sq km) and Manipur (158 sq km), (86 sq km) Nagaland, Mizoram (86 sq km each) and Meghalaya (36 sq km) also recorded significant losses of dense forests.
-😥 Losers outside North East: Madhya Pradesh (143 sq km), Jammu and Kashmir (97 sq km), Assam (66 sq km), Uttar Pradesh (41 sq km) and Tripura (31 sq km) 😥 forests in all states (except Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura and Nagaland) will be highly vulnerable climate hot spots
😥 Criticism: Experts say the survey results could be misleading as it includes plantations – such as coffee, coconuts, cashew or mango and other orchards – under forest cover.
-😥 The report, however, “does not make any distinction between the origin of tree crops (whether natural or manmade)”, and “all the tree species along with bamboos, fruit bearing trees, coconut, palm trees etc” on plots of 1 hectare and above and with “canopy density of more than 10 per cent” are included as forest cover.
: The NE states account for 8% geographical area but 24% of total forest cover.
😥 5 Northeast states shown loss in forest cover
1)natural calamities:-particularly landslides and heavy rains
2)anthropogenic activities such as shifting agriculture, road-highway-dam projects, felling of trees.
3)😥 Unlike other states, where forests are clearly managed by the forest department , the Northeastern states follow a different system —community ownership, autonomous all accounts looking after protected tribal land – which makes conservation difficult
