There can be a number of bases for the clas­sification of Indian forests. Based on (A) administra­tive point of view Indian forests were classified under following three categories during the British rule:

1. Reserved forests-These forests were under the direct supervision of the government where no public entry was allowed for collecting timber and grazing of cattle. About 53 per cent (40.1 millionth.) of forest area fell under this category.

2. Protected forests-These forests were looked after by the government but here local people were allowed to collect timber/fire wood and graze their cattle without causing serious damage to the forests. These occupy about 29 per cent (21.5 million ha) of the total area of forests in the country.
