      Question

      Regarding Chhattisgarh’s integration of forest

      ecosystem services into GDP, which is correct?
      A Chhattisgarh became the first state in India to monetise and integrate forest ecosystem services (including carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and watershed services) into its State GDP accounts Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Maharashtra was ranked first in forest-GDP integration under the Green GDP framework, with Chhattisgarh ranked second Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C The forest-GDP integration was mandated under the National Green Mission and applies uniformly to all states with more than 30% forest cover Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Chhattisgarh integrated only timber production value into state GDP — not full ecosystem services Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Chhattisgarh pioneered the integration of forest ecosystem services — including non-timber forest products, carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and watershed services — into its State Domestic Product. This is a landmark move toward Natural Capital Accounting (Green GDP) in India. No other state preceded Chhattisgarh in this comprehensive approach.
