In the 1970s, an organized resistance to the destruction of forests spread throughout India and came to be known as the Chipko movement. The name of the movementcomes from the word 'embrace', as the villagers hugged the trees, and prevented the contractors' from felling them.




Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA) is a social movement consisting of adivasis, farmers,environmentalists and human rights activistsagainst the number of large dams being built across the Narmada River, which flows through the states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, all over India.Sardar Sarovar Dam in Gujarat is one of the biggest dams on the river and was one of the first focal points of the movement. It is one of the many dams under the Narmada Dam Project. The main aim of the project is to provide irrigation and electricity to people in these states.

Their mode of campaign includes court actions, hunger strikes, rallies, and garnering support from notable film and art personalities. Narmada Bachao Andolan, with its leading spokespersons Medha Patkar andBaba Amte, have received the Right Livelihood Award in 1991.
