Nurturing Forests, Empowering Communities

It gives me immense pride to present the Federation of Forestry and Allied Cooperatives (FACFED), a collective born from the spirit of unity, sustainability, and shared prosperity. Our forests are not only the lungs of our planet, but also the backbone of countless communities whose lives and livelihoods are intertwined with them.

FACFED stands as a testament to the power of cooperation. By bringing together forestry and allied cooperatives under one umbrella, we aim to ensure that every stakeholder – from smallholder farmers and forest workers to local communities – is empowered with the tools, knowledge, and opportunities they deserve.

Our mission is clear: to balance ecological conservation with economic growth, to promote sustainable practices while creating dignified livelihoods, and to give India’s forestry sector a voice on the global stage.

I invite you to join hands with us in this journey – to protect, nurture, and prosper together.

Message From The Managing Director

From Vision to Action

At FACFED, we believe that real change is measured not only in words but in the lives we touch and the forests we preserve. As Managing Director, my role is to ensure that the vision of our federation is transformed into meaningful action that strengthens both our natural ecosystems and the communities who depend on them.

Our journey is one of collaboration – uniting cooperatives, empowering local farmers, and creating opportunities that are rooted in sustainability. We are working to bring modern knowledge, transparent systems, and fair market access to every member, while ensuring that our forests remain protected for generations to come.

FACFED is not just an organization; it is a movement to redefine how people and nature can thrive together. With the trust of our members and the support of our partners, we are confident of building a future where prosperity and conservation go hand in hand.
