There are two types of movement groups:

Specific movements/short term movements: They are formed to achieve single objective. They work in limited time frame and thus have usually short active life. 

Examples:

(i) The Nepalese movement for democracy arose with specific objective of reversing the king’s order that led to suspension of democracy. 

(ii) In India, Narmada Bachao Andolan is also an example of this. This movement started with a specific issue of people displaced by the creation of Sardar Sarovar dam on the river Narmada. Its objective was to stop the dam from being constructed. Gradually it became a wider movement that questioned all such big dams.

General/Generic movements/long term movements: These movements come into existence to achieve a broad goal in the long run. These involve more than one issues. There is no single organisation that controls or guides such movements. 

Examples: The Environmental movement and women’s movement.
