Dave asked the trainee officers to strive to become good forest officers and immerse themselves in work.
Indian Forest Service provides an opportunity to the officers to live in the midst of nature, Director General, Forest and Special Secretary, S S Negi said, adding, "young officers should strive to work for poor people of forest-dependent communities."
The 2015 batch of probationers comprise 61 officers, including four women and two foreign trainees from Bhutan.
