Answers
Explanation:
After creation of the forest department in 1861, Indian forest act was passed in 1873 and the national forest policy was enunciated on 19th October, 1894 with the following objectives:
1. Promotion of the general well-being of the country as being the sole purpose of management of forest.
2. Maintenance of adequate forest for the preservation of climatic and physical conditions of the country and to fulfill the needs of the people subject to conditions;
Our new National Forest policy was thus enunciated on 12th May, 1952 embodied in the resolution No. 13-1/52-F with the following objectives:
(1) A system of balanced and complementary land use needed to be evolved so that it produces the most and deteriorates the least.
(2) Denudation of forests in mountainous regions needed to be checked because it was in these regions that perennial water supply of our systems depended in tracts which constituted the fertile core of the country.
(3) Erosion needed to be checked in treeless bankers of rivers to prevent and arrest ravine formation.
Forests moderate the climate, reduce soil erosion, regulate stream flow, improve the ground water conditions, reduce floods, provide shelter to wide variety of flora and fauna, supply food, fuel and shelter to human population, support a number of industries and provide opportunities for recreation.
