The Chipko Movement was started in the
northern Himalayan segment of Uttar
Pradesh, the area that is well known as
Uttarakhand. The word “chipko” refers
“to stick” or “to hug”. The name of the
movement comes from a word meaning
“embrace”: where the villagers hug the
trees, saving them by interposing their
bodies between them and the
contractors’ axes.
This became popular as “Chipko
movement”. Chipko movement is a
grassroot level movement, which started
in response to the needs of the people of
Uttarakhand. The rate of heavy depletion
of forests was resulting in destruction,
arid- making the Himalayan mountain
range barren. Moreover, the construction
of dams, factories and roads had already
led to deforestation.
Most of the leaders of the Chipko
Movement were village women and men
who strove to save their means of
subsistence and their communities.
Sunderlal Bahuguna, a renowned
Gandhian, with a group of volunteers
and women started the non-violent
protest by clinging to the trees to save
them from felling.
