Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
The Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) is statutorily constituted at both the National and every State level (Statement 1 correct). The 2016 Act and its Rules do not make people’s participation a mandatory legal requirement for compensatory afforestation projects (Statement 2 incorrect). Therefore only Statement 1 is correct.
