The Chipko movement was launched in 1973 by Chandi Prasad Bhatt and Sunder Lal Bahuguna against large scale cutting of trees by timber contractors in Uttarakhand hills. It started from Chamoli district of Garhwal region of Uttarakhand. Local hill women were organised and made aware of the ecological threat in hills due to cutting of trees. They actively took part in this campaign and embraced the trees when the timber contractors reached to cut the trees.
Since the movement took place in the 1970s, the statement given in the question is incorrect.
So, the correct answer is 'False'.
