In this project, we discuss the globalisation impact on the chipko movements and Narmada Bachao Andolan with the help of secondary and tertiary source of data through analytical approach. The globalisation affects the chipko movement because different environmental movements in different parts of countries use the tactics of this movement and strategies; it is only possible of globalisation. Narmada Bachao Andolan also affected by globalisation in different points like the withdrawing of World Bank grant and different international organization also support this Andolan through different perspectives like writing and media.
