🏛️ About Forest Department Punjab & The Project
The Forest Department, Government of the Punjab, is responsible for the conservation, management, and expansion of forests, plantations, and green cover across Punjab province. The department plays a critical role in environmental sustainability, climate resilience, and timber resource management through afforestation, forest protection, and digital monitoring initiatives.
The department has launched a development scheme titled "Digital Enumeration of Linear Plantations in Punjab (2025-26)" — a modern initiative to digitally map, count, and monitor linear plantations (roadside, canal-side, and railway-side tree lines) across Punjab. This project will use surveying technology and digital tools to create an accurate database of Punjab's linear plantation assets. To support this project, the Forest Department is hiring 15 Surveyors (PPS-4) on a 2-year contract basis. Surveyors will conduct field surveys, collect GPS data, measure tree stocks, and contribute to the digital enumeration database. This is an excellent opportunity for young diploma holders with surveying skills to work on an environmentally significant government project with a competitive salary of Rs. 55,000 per month.
