$\huge\textbf{Chipko Movement :}$


The Chipko movement started in the Himalayas of Uttar Pradesh in 1970's. AIn a village named Garhwal.


The main purpose of this movement was to prevent cutting of trees which leads to deforestation.


A contractor was given permission to cut down the trees in a forest near the village. However, the villagers were against the decision. 


On a particular day, when the men folk in the village were away at work, the employees of the contractor visited the forest to cut down the trees.
