Forest Clearance
As per the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, any diversion of forest land for non-forest purposes—such as industrial, infrastructure, or developmental projects—requires prior approval from the Central Government. This process ensures that environmental conservation measures are in place while facilitating sustainable development.
