Germany

The Generalforstmeister (Director General of Forests) was the second highest forestry official in the Prussian civil service and in the German Reich. He was subordinate to the Reichsforstmeister, the head of the Reich Forestry, and was his deputy. The title of Generalforstmeister corresponded to the former Oberlandforstmeister.[1]

India

The Director General of Forests of India is the highest-ranking officer of the Indian Forest Service. The director is posted in the Central Government of India and generally selected from the senior-most PCCFs of the states of India. This officer is equivalent in rank to the secretary of the Union Government. The Indian Government has only one post for the Director General of Forests. The person holding this rank is also the ex-officio Special Secretary in the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. This post is such a high ranking post that the appointment is done directly by the President of India on the recommendations of cabinet. An officer posted at this level has generally completed about 35 years of service.[2]
