When was Indian forest act was formulated |
|
Answer» The 1865 Indian Forest Act asserted the monopoly of the British over the Indian forest land, and gave the government undisputable power to regulate the forest and pastures. But this Act had many drawbacks. So it was revised and new regulations for smooth functioning and scientific management of the Indian forests came into being, as the Indian Forest Act 1878. It was made applicable to the Reserve Forests, Protected Forests and Village Forests. These forests were constituted legally for the first time.\xa0 21 september 1927 |
