Dipak ensures that the government offices he oversees are “owned” by the public in order to get excellent results from his work. He creates a mechanism of trust where the government officers go door-to-door to listen to the concerns of the public [with regards to forestry] and find solutions. He has set examples among young people to plant trees that are suitable to the environment, helping them generate additional income. He has also taken risks to retrieve encroached land and also mobilized communities [especially women] around sustainable forest protection. As he believes in team efforts and dividing responsibilities, the offices in his leadership have shown excellent performance as well.
