According to National Forest Policy - 1952, what should be the minimum percent area of land under forest for environmental stability ?

  • A.18%
  • B.23%
  • C.33%
  • D.39%

Answer: C

The 1952 policy set the minimum forest area at 33%.

The National Forest Policy of 1952 laid down that India should aim to have one-third of its land area under forest, 60% in the hills and 25% in the plains, for environmental stability. The 1988 policy kept the same national goal of one-third.

18% and 23% are below this target (about 21-22% is close to India's actual forest cover), and 39% exceeds it.
