Hello,

Critically analysis a case of people's movement in India against environmental degradation :

There are many movements in India against the environmental degradation. Chipko movement is one of them. It started in 1970. The villagers of Himalaya in Uttarakhand started the movement. They resided at foothill of Himalaya. One of them started this who ties a sacred thread on trunk of huge trees and then hugged them. Then it was spread in Uttar pradesh. In Tehri district Chipko activists went to protest the limestone mining in Dun Valley in the 1980's, as the movement spread across the Dehradun district, before its forests were seen causing extensive damage to flora and fauna. Excavation was finally banned after years of movement by Chipko activists, then massive public drive for precautionary measures began that turned the valley around from time to time. One of main features of Chipko is the wide participation of female villagers. As the backbone of Uttarakhand's agrarian economy, women were the most directly affected by environmental degradation and deforestation and thus it is very easily related  to issues. The extent to which this partnership has been influenced or achieved by the Chipko norm has been hotly debated in academic circle. The news soon reached the state capital, where the then state chief minister Hembati Nandan formed a committee to investigate the multi-faceted matter, which ultimately ruled in favor of the villagers. it became a turning point in the history of the eco-development struggle in the region and around the world. In October 1971, the staff of Bigghar demonstrates a protest of Gopaswar to protest against the principles of forest  department. In the end of 1972, more assembly and March were held in March, but there is little effect, decision to take direct action. The forest department took place  when the forest department stops the annual request of Sangah for ten ash trees for its farm equipment workshop, and instead of creating tennis racquet, a sports photographer in Allahabad provides 300 trees deal to Simon Company.

I have written approximately 300 words on this topic as you said. I hope it will be helpful for you.

Hello aspirant,

Hope you are doing well!!

Critically analyse a case of people's movement in India against Environmental Degradation :-

People needs to remember about the environment and do some efforts to preserve the Environment. The act damaged the environment,  there is a civic responsibility to look out the environment. James Ranald leading further ideology produce many medico-topographical reports that indicates the size-of large scale deforestation. The Madras board of revenue start conservation effects in 1842 , lead by Alexandar Gibson, Knowledgeable botanist who regularly take on the forest conservation program . This Movements face many problems like "firing incidence of women". To check the environmental degradation Gangotri Gram Swarajaya Sang (GGSS) in Uttarkashi and Dasholi Gram Swarajaya Mandal (DGSM) in Gopeshwar starts the "CHIPKO MOVEMENT" in 1970. Chipko Movement means hold the tree.


I hope this will help you.
