Chipko Andolan or the Chipko Movement took place in Uttarakhand, in Northern Himalayan region, in the year 1973. “Ecology is permanent economy” was the slogan of this movement to protect the nature from getting destroyed by the commercialism and industrialization. This movement was particularly led by the women of that region who used to cling on to the trees to save them from falling.
