Solution

The correct options are
A Chipko movement
B Appiko movement

In the 1970s, an organised resistance to the destruction of forests spread throughout India and came to be known as the Chipko movement. The Chipko Movement in the state of Uttarakhand inspired the villagers of the Uttara Kannada district of the state of Karnataka in southern India to launch a similar movement to save their forests. This came to be known as the Appiko movement. Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was a mass movement across India started on October 2, 2014 to remove garbage and clean India. The “Ganga Action Plan” (GAP) was launched for immediate reduction of pollution load on the river Ganga in December, 1984 on the basis of a survey on the Ganga basin, carried out by the Central Pollution Control Board in 1984.
