Which was the first National Forest Policy under pre-Independence era enacted in India?
Answer: C
The first forest policy was the National Forest Policy, 1894.
The Forest Policy of 1894, issued by the British Government of India on the advice of J. A. Voelcker, was the country's first formal forest policy. It aimed to manage the forests for the public benefit, chiefly for revenue and to meet the needs of agriculture, and it allowed forest land to be cleared for cultivation.
1952 was independent India's first forest policy, not a pre-Independence one. 1862 and 1872 are not policy years, though the Forest Department was established in 1864 and the first Forest Act passed in 1865.
