- Gujarat Police Constable Recruitment Online Form Out-10459 Bharati 2021 Since time began, the natural broad -leaved forests of the Himalayas have played a significant role in the life of the people of Uttar Pradesh. In fact, the forests are the foundation of the whole economy of the hill villages. Green leaves and grass, for example, provide fodder for the animals, whose dung is used as fertilizer for the croplands. Dry twigs and branches are the only source of domestic cooking fuel. The forests also provide large supplies of fruits, edible nuts, fibers and herbs for local consumption. The forests break the flow of the seasonal rainfall that lashes the slopes of this mountain range every year during the monsoon. This creates springs and ever-flowing streams which are vital for the mountain people and their animals during the hot summer months. For many years, however, large areas of these rich forest resources are getting destroyed. For example, the forests ofTehri -Gadhwal Gujarat Police Constable Recruitment 2021 Online Form Out-10459 Bharti were exploited to supply timber for the expanding railway network in the plains.Europeans in Mussourie wanted cultivation of new food crops like potatoes, leading to large-scale clearing of mixed oak forests. 'There was dearly a contradiction between the village people's basic needs, and the requirements of the state to earn money. In 1930, the people ofTehri-Gadhwal began a non-cooperation movement called satyagrah a form of peaceful resistance to obtain justice in opposition to the oppressive forest laws. In that year, a large number of people were killed in Tilari by the armed forces of the kingdom ofTehri-Gadhwal, when they formed a protest meeting against official forest policy. Look at the picture. What do you notice? There are some men, women and children embracing the trees. The two men are with saws in their hands. They want to cut down the trees but the people are protecting them. 'They do not allow them to do any harm to the trees as they are emotionally attached to them. It was 'Chipko Movement' to save the forests. The movement saved the green forest and protected the envirorunent. Out of the satyagrah movement has grown the post independence Chipko ("hug-a-tree") movement in which villagepeoplehave actuallyput their bodies around trees tostop them from being felled. This grass-roots struggle against commercial cutting of the Himalayan forests of Uttar Pradesh has forced the state government to rethink its strategy. Commercial felling, in fact, is now banned above a height of 1 ooom. But there are large areas of degraded forests, and the Forest Department has failed to reafforest them. As a result, there is now a severe scarcity of animal fodder and domestic fuel, and acute water shortage. The women suffer the most. In many parts of the hills, women now have to walk all day to collect the daily requirements of fodder, fuel and water. Inspired by the Chipko movemen4 the village women have now started to manage and protect local forests, to ensure their regeneration.
