Question

Select the correct matched ones:
(a) Number of Forest Policies implemented in India - 3
(b) Earth summit at Reo de Janerio was held in - 1992
(c) National Forest Commission was set up in - 1967
(d) Second Forest Policy - 1988
Select the correct option from the given below option:

• (a) and (c)
• (a) and (b)
• (b) and (c)
• (b) and (d)

Hint:

If you are unsure about whether 1988 is the second or third policy, look at the other statements.
Statement (b) is undoubtedly true (Rio Earth Summit was in 1992).
Statement (c) is false because the National Forest Commission was formed in 2003.
This leaves only options containing (b) but not (c), which easily points to Option (B).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question requires identifying correct historical milestones related to Indian forest policy and global environmental initiatives.

Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
Let us evaluate each statement individually:
(a) Number of Forest Policies implemented in India - 3:
This is correct.
Historically, India has implemented three national forest policies:
1. The first pre-independence policy in 18
2. The first post-independence policy in 19
3. The revised National Forest Policy in 19
(b) Earth summit at Reo de Janerio was held in - 1992:
This is correct.
The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), widely known as the Earth Summit, was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in June 19
(c) National Forest Commission was set up in - 1967:
This is incorrect.
The first National Forest Commission of India was constituted much later, in 2003, under the chairmanship of former Chief Justice of India, B.N. Kirpal.
(d) Second Forest Policy - 1988:
This is incorrect.
If we consider post-independence policies, the first was implemented in 1952, and the second was in 19
However, chronologically across India's history (including the colonial era), the 1952 policy is considered the second, and 1988 is the third.
Since (a) and (b) are both correct, they form the most logically consistent paired option.

Step 3: Final Answer:
Statements (a) and (b) are correct.
This matches Option (B).
