CASFOS Burnihat SFS 2022-24 batch

Today, in the first stop of our Central-North India tour, we got the opportunity to interact with the higher officials of the Bihar Forest Department. This is our third study tour of India. Before this, we have done other states of Assam, Nagaland, Arunachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Orissa, Jharkhand, Sikkim etc. During our last visit to Eastern India, the way, Jharkhand Forest Department took care of us, it was unforgettable. By the way, it is a very good tradition of Forest Department that even if you go to any corner of the country, being an officer of Forest Department, you will be greeted warmly, but still, if you get better treatment than expected at some places, you will definitely feel very happy. Something similar happened with us during our last tour in Jharkhand and on the opening day of this tour our hearts were touched by the hospitality of the Bihar Forest Department. Seeing the senior most officers of the forest department and its top management team together under one roof...

In the nineties, a song from the movie "Dil" starring Aamir Khan became very popular. Whose words were something like this. "Mujhe neend naa aaye..... Dard bada bedard hai!" If the first line of the song instead of "Mujhe neend naa aaye..... ", would have been something like this "Mujhe neend bahut aaye.....", many of our officer trainees in the academy would be found humming this song many times. Due to the old habit of sleeping late at night and getting up late in the morning, many of our officer trainees sometimes face some difficulty in keeping pace with the training schedule here. Lack of sleep becomes a problem for some officer trainees due to the habit of sleeping late at night and then the compulsion to wake up early in the morning and not getting any sleep slot during the day. Now they have to find the solution to the problem on their own, so those who are not smart enough to sleep in the class, either convert some time after PT into sle...
