Chipko movement was started in 1973 in Chamoli district of Uttrakhand.
The village farmers started this movement to prevent cutting of jungles and deforestation by state forest contractors.
The main effect of this movement was that the environment became one major agenda in politics.
The government passed the Forest Protection Act and then Prime Minister banned cutting of forests for 15 years in Himalayan areas.
