Bachelor of Science (Hons.) Forestry
The Bachelor of Science (Hons.) in Forestry program deals with the science and craft of nurturing, managing, using, conserving, and repairing forests and associated resources sustainably to meet desired goals, needs, and values for human benefit. B.Sc. Forestry graduates are trained in plantations and fundamental stands. The challenge of forestry is to create socially accepted systems while sustaining the resource and any other supplies that might be affected. Forest science possesses components related to the physical, social, biological, political, and managerial sciences, and the program will further impart students’ knowledge about all these.
Dev Bhoomi School of Allied Sciences offers the bsc forestry course that aims to train students in managing forests, new plantations, maintaining old farms, and other valuable natural resources. The advanced course curriculum of this program teaches students the creation and implementation of systems and frameworks for the sustainable maintenance of forest resources and supplies to make sure that the non-renewable sources do not get lost. The course typically includes general Biology, Botany, Genetics, Soil Science, Climatology, Hydrology, Economics, and Forest Management. Through an amalgamation of theoretical and practical knowledge, the program gives an in-depth understanding of knick-knacks concepts. It processes involved in conserving forest resources, preserving and protecting wildlife, managing non-sustainable resources, etc. It trains them to become qualified professionals in the domain.
