Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
The Forest Act divided forests into three categories. The Forest Act was enacted in 1865 and changed twice, first in 1878 and then again in 1927. Brandis saw the need for a comprehensive system to be put in place to manage the forests. The usage of forest resources was governed by certain rules. Forests were classified into three categories by the 1878 Act: reserved, protected, and village forests. "Reserved forests" were the finest forests. The villagers could take nothing from these forests, not even for personal use. They could collect wood from protected or village forests for house construction or fuel.
