Narmada Bachao Andolan NBA
Narmada Bachao Andolan is a movement (campaign) in protest against improper (or lack of) planning and implementation of policies on protection of environment and resettlement of affected areas, due to construction of dams on Narmada river.
Medha Patkar started it and did 36 day march and 20 day fast too. In 1985 construction of Radar Sarovar dam was initiated without caring for environment or local adivasis or farmers. Again in 1993 fasts took place.
Andolan consisted of rallies, protests, being arrested, court cases, and hunger strikes. Natives, farmers, activists for human rights and for environment and celebrities participated in this.
Finally in 2007 the project was granted completion after complying with requirements.

Chipko andolan (movement) is a non-violent protesting movement of people near Gopeswar village in Rajasthan. It was in 1972-73 local girijans (tribals) protested against deforestation policies of Indian governmental forest department.
Protest was against logging policies and allowing commercial contractors or private companies to cut down of trees for money. Companies were making products from wood and making profit.
Chipko andolan was a peaceful Gandhian satyagraha against vested interests to exploit forests.
Andolan raised public awareness about eco-system, and need for conservation. It was to prevent the lives of tribals from being extinct.
The chipko andolan later on initiated indirectly peaceful protests all over India and world.
The local tribal people benefited as they were totally dependent on forests for food, meat, agriculture, firewood, housing etc. They didn't have to relocate elelsewhere. The andolan saved soil from erosion. It showed the power of people and satyagraha. The women showed more strength in the Andolan. Women were dependent on forest and greenery for long term availability of water (cooking/ drinking/ bathing), and firewood for cooking.
