The IIFM stands in a position to meet the
requirements of the changing scenario in the forestry, environment,
development, and allied sectors. It is constantly striving to update itself and
accordingly respond to the needs of all concerned stakeholders. Given the
emerging, and much-needed, emphasis on environmental sustainability, climate
change, carbon trading, green finance, corporate social environmental
responsibility, biodiversity conservation and natural resource management, IIFM
suitably modifies its focus, activity frame and course structure to
successfully meet these needs. All these activities not only require man power,
possessing a desired blend of skills pertaining to forestry, environment &
development with management science but also need the professional assistance
and guidance for capacity building, project implementation and monitoring.
Therefore, IIFM through its educational, training, research and consultancy
activities has planned to endeavor to meet this emerging need.
Accordingly, a Doctoral level Programme titled the
Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) for people who need specialized knowledge,
skills, and attitudes for positions requiring conceptual and visioning skills.
The Fellow Programme is an important step in that direction. The FPM is
approved by AICTE.

and equip students for career opportunity in management education and research
in the following faculty areas of specialization:
