About Rain Forest Research Institute (RFRI), Jorhat
In order to have adequate research support for the development of
the forestry sector in the northeastern region of the country, the
Institute was born in April 1988. Its origin dates back to 1976
when the Regional Center of the Forest Research Institute was
created in Dehra Dun. It was established in Burnihat (Assam) to
expand knowledge on forestry issues through research, education
and general extension and to support forestry research in the
northeastern states.
The Center made steady progress in terms of infrastructure and
established itself as a research hub on issues related to forestry
and ecology in the region. It was updated as the Rainforest and
Humid Deciduous Forest Research Institute (IRMDER) now known as
the Rainforest Research Institute (RFRI). The Institute has become
a renowned one, providing a manpower service in the field of
forest resources and technology extension to all NE states,
including Sikkim. The Institute's multidisciplinary scientific
workforce offers needs-based technological achievements in forest
science that lead to the conservation, protection, restoration and
management of forest resources. The proven technologies, developed
within the framework of different research projects, are
transferred to stakeholders through their regional capacity
building programs in Demo Village and Van Vigyan Kendras (VVK) in
the states. The Institute's headquarters are located in Jorhat in
Assam, while its Centers are located in Aizawl and Agartala.
