History : Ans 2 :
Scientific forestry is the science of managing forests and tree plantations. Natural forests with different types of trees were cut down and replaced with one type of tree planted in rows known as plantation. The forests were surveyed by officials according to areas under different types of trees and plans were made for forest management. A portion of the plantation area was cut down every year and replanted so that it was available to be used within a few years.

Civics : Ans 3 :

An election campaign is the public campaign that is undertaken by a candidate after his/her application to contest in elections is accepted by the election commission. A campaign involves reaching out the voters directly and indirectly. A candidate may directly reach out to the voters through election rallies and roadshows. Mass media like television and radio are utilised for this purpose. In modern age, the internet and social media are also being used for the same. A candidate tries to draw the attention of voters to local and national issues and outlines his/her party's position on them. Candidates have to ensure that their point of view is received by the voters and their solution to the issues are given weightage.
