OREANDA-NEWS. October 8, 2012. Club Enerji, Tata Power's nationwide energy conservation movement, has gained tremendous impetus due to the focus and dedication of school children to spread awareness about energy and resource conservation across the country.

Over 300 students from St Xavier's High School, Mira Road, came together today to spread the message on resource conservation on the occasion of No Car Day. The students enthusiastically prepared and displayed posters, banners and placards with paintings depicting various ways to conserve the environment and reduce the use of fossil fuels such as petrol and diesel.

The rally began with a special street play in which the students presented ways to minimise the use of private vehicles to reduce environment pollution. The students then marched on a rally to create mass awareness. They enthusiastically shouted various slogans while spreading the message on conservation of natural resources through their posters, placards and handouts.

Speaking on the initiative, Anil Sardana, managing director, Tata Power, said, “The enthusiasm, involvement and dedication of the school students to spread the message on not just energy but resource conservation is remarkable and has contributed towards making this a national movement. We would also like to thank the teachers and principal of the school in extending their support to this initiative.”

Club Enerji has covered more than 400 schools and sensitised more than 2.8 million (28 lakh) citizens across the nation, and over 3 million units of electricity have been saved till date. The club is proud to have more than 19,095 energy champions and 32,257 energy ambassadors this year, who are spreading the mantra of energy conservation among people across various age and income groups. Today, there are more than 800 mini clubs across the country, which are run by school children with an aim to stop wastage of electricity.

Club Enerji encourages students to form their own mini energy clubs in their school and societies to propagate the message of energy conservation to citizens and the society at large.
