Question

how many percent forests were there in India in 1947​

Answer 1

Answer:

15-Feb-2018 · Since Independence, a fifth of India's land has consistently been under forests. The population has increased more than three times since 1947, and from 1951-80, a total 42,380 sq km of forestland was diverted — some 62% of it for agriculture. And yet, the country's forest cover continues to hover just over 20%.
