FSI's mandate includes forest cover mapping, inventory of forest and tree resources, and providing specialized training in geospatial applications [t1][t3]. Its specific address is on Kaulagarh Road in Dehradun [t3][t9]. While it has regional offices across the country, the central administrative and technical hub remains in Dehradun, which is also home to other forestry institutions like the Directorate of Forest Education [c3].
