Discussion
Arrange the chronological order of the beginning of the following environmental movements :
(i) Narmada Bachao Andolan
(ii) Navadhanya Movement
(iii) Chipko Movement
(iv) Silent Valley Movement
Answer: C
The order of the beginnings of the movements is Chipko, Silent Valley, Narmada Bachao and Navadhanya. The Chipko movement began in 1973 in the Himalayan hills of Uttarakhand, the Silent Valley movement against the hydroelectric project in Kerala followed in the 1970s, the Narmada Bachao Andolan began in 1985, and Navadhanya was started by Vandana Shiva in 1987.
The other sequences place Narmada Bachao or Navadhanya before Chipko, which is wrong because Chipko is the earliest of the four. So the correct sequence is (iii), (iv), (i), (ii).
