In this unit, you will explore promotion environmental movements in India during the 13th century. In this topic, the major environmental movements that happened in the 20th century are Chepka movement, Narmada movement and Silent Valley movement. Before exploring these three kinds of movements, I will explain what is the concept of the Green Movement. The Green Movement is an environmental movement that can be defined as a social or political movement for the conservation of the environment or for the improvement of the state of the environment. The term Green Movement or Conservation Movement are alternatively used to denote the same. The environment movement favours the sustainable management of natural resources. The movement often stirs the protection of the environment via changes in public policy. Many movements are centred on ecology, health and human rights. Environmental movement ranges from the highly organised and the formerly institutionalised ones to the radically informal activities. The spatial scope of various environmental movements ranges from being local to almost global. I close this class with this information. We will meet next class in detail on the three environmental movements. Thank you. .
