1 Answer

Answer :

(1) 1952 Explanation: India is one of the very few countries of the world where forest policy is in operation since 1894: in 1952 and 1988 revisions were made in this forest policy. The National Forest Polity of 1952 recommended that the country should aim at coverage of one-third of the total land area under forests (60% in mountainous area and 25% in the plains). It has suggested the extension of tree lands on river/canal banks and in such areas which are not suitable for cultivation.
