Tata Power : Club Enerji celebrates 'Oorja Samvardhan Divas' across twelve locations in India

• Over 80 volunteers sensitised 4782 students across 38 schools

Club Enerji, Tata Power's nationwide energy conservation movement, celebrated 'Oorja Samvardhan Divas' across twelve locations to mark the mencement of National Energy Conservation Week. Family members and spouses of the Company's employees became the torch-bearers of Club Enerji's efforts towards conservation, and educated students across Mundra, Jojobera, Kalinganagar, Naraj Marthapur, Tiruldih, Khopoli, Bhira, Bhivpuri, Lonavala and Mumbai on valuable practices to conserve energy. The programme will be conducted at Maithon and Haldia on December 18, covering more than 500 students across 4 schools.

The objective of the programme was to continue with its mission of reaching out to the young minds and creating awareness on the need to save our planet for a sustainable tomorrow. The volunteers conducted the awareness sessions via videos and PowerPoint presentations on the six golden rules of energy conservation, and successfully sensitised 4782 students across 38 schools. A poster-making petition on the theme of 'Save Energy, Save Power' was organised to instil a sense of responsibility amongst the students towards building a sustainable future. Students were also taught how to read the electricity bill and were made to take a pledge towards conservation of energy and resources. They proudly sported the badges declaring them to be 'Energy Champs', which were distributed by the volunteers, also known as 'Energy Mentors'. At the end of the programme, certificates signed by Mr. Anil Sardana, MD and CEO, Tata Power, were awarded to School Principals for their cooperation and participation, and to winners of the poster petitions.

Speaking on the widespread success of this initiative, Mr. Anil Sardana, MD & CEO, Tata Power, said, "It's heartening to note that 'Tata Power Club Enerji' has bee a successful movement in India and is playing a vital role in aiding young minds in advocating energy and resource conservation. At Tata Power, the culture of conservation is not just imbibed in our employees, but in our families as well. The 'Oorja Samvardhan Divas' initiative, led solely by the families of our employees, is a sharp case in point. We thank every participant for their enthusiasm and participation in making this event a huge success."

The event in each school was concluded on a green note by the participating students who planted saplings in the premises of their schools. The importance of green cover and protecting our life givers was imparted to the children and close to 1,000 trees were planted by the students.
