Which of the following was never the aim of Indian Forest Act, 1927 ?
To protect the vegetation cover of India
The Indian Forest Act, 1927, a colonial enactment, consolidated the law on forests mainly to regulate the transit of forest produce and the duty leviable on timber.
Its real objects were to earn revenue from timber and forest produce, to regulate the cutting of trees, and to secure a steady supply of raw material for railways, ship-building and forest-based industries.
Protecting the vegetation cover of India as an ecological goal was never its aim; such conservation concerns came later through laws like the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.
Hence, the answer is To protect the vegetation cover of India.
