Bavin Enforcement Award 2010[3][4] which he received in Doha, Qatar during CITES CoP in 2010.
Conservation works and other contributions[edit]
Pandey has worked in the areas of conservation, protection and management of wildlife and natural resources in biodiversity rich landscapes (Pilibhit-Dudhwa-Katerniaghat), and is known for prevention of organised wildlife crimes in Northern India.[5] Pandey's success in reviving and restoring the Katerniaghat and drawing attention to the tigers of Pilibhit was recognized in Rajya Sabha and led to calls for more attention to tiger conservation in India.[6][7] He also worked extensively on Gharial conservation in river Girwa particularly in facilitating the natural breeding of gharials.[8] His work in combating Wildlife Crimes was connected with enforcement agencies and implementation of Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild fauna and flora (CITES) in the country, including cross-border implementation efforts.[9][10][11]
Besides this working in the field of natural resource management including working in a World Bank project in watershed management his efforts to manage wildlife in non-protected area of Pilibhit is one of the best of its kind, which later on build up a case for recognising the area to be declared as 45th Tiger Reserve of the country. He has been instrumental in bringing Katerniaghat and Chuka (Pilibhit) on the map of wildlife and eco-tourism in the country.[12] While working as Conservator of Forests Saharanpur, Pandey took the task of controlling illegal cutting and smuggling of Khair trees from Shiwaliks jungles and successfully controlled a decades old problem with help of Haryana Forest Officials and local police.[13] He was transferred to Agra as Conservator of Forests in June 2017 and he ran an unprecedented more than a month long operation against the mining mafias involved in inter-state illegal transportation of mining material from Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. In this heavy crackdown more than thousand vehicles were seized and crores of revenue given to goverments'exchequer.[14]
Works in MSME sector[edit]
In 2012 Pandey joined the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME), of India as Joint Development Commissioner and worked in the areas of strategic planning and implementation of government policies and schemes at national level.[15][16][17][18] During this period he contributed in the areas of strategic thinking and planning for public policy particularly relating to MSMEs.[19][20][21][22][23] He has played vital role in formulation and implementation of flagship programmes of Ministry of MSME particularly in the field of productivity enhancement & competitiveness,[24] energy efficiency & green growth,[25] public procurement policy, UNIDO, GIZ and World Bank programmes including Technology Centres System Programme (TCSP).[26][27][28][29][30]
ZED Certification[edit]
While working in Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Mr Pandey conceptualised, advocated and worked for 'Creating Productivity Enhancement Ecosystem of Growth and Competitiveness of MSMEs' which helped in designing Zero Defect-Zero Effect manufacturing and Zed Certification models in India.[31][32][33] He worked closely with Quality Council of India (QCI), in formulating the ZED matrix and pilot project for the ZED certification.[34][35] He also played key role and was instrumental in envisaging a ZED Certification scheme for the MSMEs by amalgamating two different schemes under the National Manufacturing Competitiveness Programme of the Ministry. The Scheme was formally launched by the Prime Minister of India during the National Awards for MSMEs ceremony at Ludhiana.[36]
Field Director DTR[edit]
While working as Field Director and Chief Conservator of Forests of Dudhwa Tiger Reserve, [37] he led the intensive monsoon patrolling and introduced the use of M-Stripes based smart patrolling in the reserve.[38]. Dudhwa Tiger Reserve became the lead tiger reserve in adopting the smart patrolling in the country. His approach for preparing a Camp Elephant Management Plan for the patrol elephants and organizing a regular health and happiness camp in which the camp elephants are offered a feast has also been well appreciated both by wildlife lovers and conservationists. Use of audio-text message with the help of Reliance Foundation and UPFD for creating the mass awareness in the villages affected with the human-leopard area specially in Katerniaghat has been another innovative approach in syncing technologies for efficient and strategic wildlife conservation.[39]
