The Arunachal Pradesh Anchal and Village Forest Reserve (Constitution and Maintenance) Act, 1975

This Act establishes and manages forest reserves in Arunachal Pradesh by allowing the state government to designate land as Anchal or Village Forest Reserves. It applies to the entire state and governs how these areas are created and maintained. A key feature is the revenue-sharing mechanism, where the state government retains half of the net revenue while the remaining half is distributed to local village councils and communities for development activities. This ensures that forest management benefits local populations while supporting state administration.
