Answers
Answer:
forest catch the fire ..
Explanation:
Forest policy in India during the colonial period was one where forest management was attuned towards the redistribution of economic gains for the benefit of the British Empire. Forest management was mainly state-led and was primarily undertaken in terms of control over resources and people. This involved commercialisation of many forest resources, large scale deforestation and restrictions on the rights of local populations (Aravindakshan, 2011).
The first National Forest Policy in India was formulated in 1894. Since then there has been a marked shift in focus away from mostly state-led forest policy to forest conservation with community-based agro and social forestry and also concerns for the local populations. This signals a change in perspectives in managing forest resources in forest policy in India.
