What type of power did Forest Acts give to the state?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Power to legally classify forests and control their use

Through Forest Acts, the colonial state gained the legal authority to classify forests as reserved, protected and village forests, and to control their use. This allowed it to restrict local activities such as grazing, hunting, timber collection and shifting cultivation. Option B is the opposite of this policy because people’s rights to use forest produce were curtailed. Exam tip: remember the phrases ‘legal classification’ and ‘state control over forest use’.
