When was the Forest Rights Act passed?

  • A.2008
  • B.2006
  • C.2005
  • D.2007

Answer: B

The Forest Rights Act was passed in 2006.

The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act was passed by Parliament in December 2006 to correct the historical injustice done to forest-dwelling communities whose rights were never recorded. It came into force on 31 December 2007 with its rules notified on 1 January 2008, which is why 2007 and 2008 are tempting.

2005 is the year the bill was introduced in Parliament, not the year it was passed.
