Centre for Forest Based Livelihood and Extension, Forest research center in Agartala, India.
The Centre for Forest Based Livelihood and Extension in Agartala is a research facility focused on forest ecosystems and sustainable management approaches. The institution runs projects in bamboo treatment, vermicomposting, and medicinal plant cultivation to support communities across Northeast India.
The facility was established in July 2012 as part of the RFRI Jorhat under India's Council of Forestry Research and Education. It was created to provide research and practical support for the northeastern states.
The center connects local forest knowledge with scientific approaches, supporting communities that depend on woodland resources for their livelihoods. This blend is visible in projects where traditional practices meet modern techniques to address real community needs.
Visitors can ask about training and demonstration programs offered on the grounds, with direct contact to the facility recommended. The site provides views of ongoing projects, best visited during the cooler months.
The center developed the TryBam project with TRIBAC, creating a specialized production unit for treated bamboo products. This unit serves various industrial uses and shows how research becomes practical economic opportunities.
