First Indian Forest Policy, 1894 was formulated on the report of which of the following person ?
Answer: B
The 1894 policy was based on the report of Dr. Voelcker (printed 'Voelker').
J.A. Voelcker, the agricultural chemist sent to India in 1889, wrote the 'Report on the Improvement of Indian Agriculture' (1893). His recommendations on forests, especially the needs of agriculture for fodder, fuel and small timber, formed the basis of India's first Forest Policy, issued by the Government of India on 19 October 1894.
Hooker was a botanist, and Duthie and Collett were botanists who wrote regional floras; none of their reports underlay the 1894 policy.
