In the beginning of the twentieth century, the forest cover was about 30% while towards its end is reduced to only 19.4%. The National Forest Policy of India recommends approximately 60% forest cover for hilly regions including Himalayas, while 33% for plains. However, the situation is contrastingly different as the production of forests in India is very slow.
