PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT IN INDIAN FOREST SERVICE

1. The success of an organization depends on the capacities (возможности) and capabilities (способности) of its personnel. Unless (пока не) an organization devotes enough resources (выделяет средства) on the development of its human resource, it would not get the required output (желаемая отдача) from its personnel. An organization’s commitment (обязательство) to the development of human resource has to be reflected (должно отражаться) in its policies, procedures, practices, customs (обычаи) and ideals.

2. Regular annual recruitment (ежегодный набор на работу) to the service is done through a separate all India competitive examination (конкурсный экзамен) open to only graduates from science and technology backgrounds (образование). The number of candidates recruited fluctuates (меняется) from year to year. There had been heavy intake (набор) to the service from 1984 to 1987, when about 600 candidates were selected for appointment (должность).

3. The syllabus (программа) and pattern (система, структура) of training is reviewed (пересматривается) after about a decade. Such revision (коррекция) is necessary to keep the training process up to date (на уровне современных требований), improve its quality and meet new challenges (принять вызов). The present of training was introduced (была внедрена) during 1994 and which consisted of the five phases during the probation period (испытательный срок) of three years. The five phases included (включенные) are: the foundational course (основной курс), “on-the-job training” of the probationer (стажер), an advanced (продвинутый этап) management phase. During the course 34 subjects with 1418 classroom lectures, and field exercises (занятия на местах) are covered (включены). About 180 days are spent on field tours (производственная практика) to different parts of India.

4. Since 1986, the Government of India has been enhancing the efforts (увеличивают усилия) of the State Governments for capacity building (формирование компетенций) of Indian Forest Service officers (служащий) through sponsoring of short-term refresher courses (краткосрочные курсы повышения квалификации) for officers of various seniorities (ранг, старшинство). State governments also organize courses for participation (участие) in various short-term refresher courses within India and abroad (за границей). From 1998 to 2004, Government of India have decided to regularly organize short duration (небольшая продолжительность) (23 weeks) promotion linked (связанные с продвижением по службе) training courses on Advanced (передовой, прогрессивный) Forest Management (AFM) for the officers in their 10^th, 17^th , and 21^st years of service.
