Hearty congratulations to all the successful candidates! 🌿 It's inspiring to see Gujarat's youth excelling in forest conservation - a field that's becoming increasingly important with climate change challenges. SPIPA's training model should be replicated in other states too.

While I appreciate the achievements, I hope the government also focuses on creating more forest service job opportunities. Many qualified candidates end up waiting for postings. Conservation needs more boots on the ground!

Gujarat's education system is showing remarkable results! From CET to UPSC, the state is producing quality candidates. But let's not forget the hard work of these students - they burned midnight oil while others were sleeping. Kudos to them! 👏

As someone from Gujarat, I'm proud but also curious - how many of these successful candidates are from rural areas? We need to ensure coaching institutes like SPIPA are accessible to students in villages too. The talent is everywhere!

Forest officers have one of toughest jobs - dealing with poachers, climate crises and balancing development with conservation. These young officers will be real-life heroes protecting our natural heritage. All the best to them! 🐯🌳

The residential school initiative for CET qualifiers is brilliant! But can we get details about the gender ratio among successful candidates? Encouraging more girls in STEM and civil services should be priority. Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao must reflect in these numbers too.
