Explanation:

Increasing trees and forest cover

Social forestry is, in effect, an integral part of the Gandhian philosophy of economic growth and community development. It was being realized that forests were under pressure because of the growing population, and land was getting degraded due to human activities. So The National Commission on Agriculture of the Indian government used the term “social forestry” for the first time in 1973.
