Solution
The correct option is B 1984
In 1984, the Karnataka government set up a company called Karnataka Pulpwood Limited. About 30,000 hectares of land were given virtually free to this company for 40 years. Much of this land was used by local farmers as grazing land for their cattle. However, the company began to plant eucalyptus trees on this land, which could be used for making paper pulp. In 1987, a movement called Kittiko- Hachchiko (meaning, pluck and plant) started a non – violent protest, where people plucked the eucalyptus plants and planted saplings of trees that were useful to the people.
