In which National Forest Policy, emphasis was given on people's participation in conservation and regeneration of forest ?
Answer: C
The policy that emphasised people's participation is the National Forest Policy, 1988.
The 1988 policy changed the aim of forest management from revenue to environmental stability and the needs of local people. It called for creating a massive people's movement, with women's involvement, to protect and regenerate forests, which led directly to Joint Forest Management in 1990.
The 1894 colonial policy and the 1952 policy treated forests mainly as a source of revenue and raw material for industry. The Forest Conservation Act, 1980 is a law restricting diversion of forest land, not a forest policy.
