The National Energy Conservation Day was celebrated with great zeal and enthusiasm on 14th December 2003 at Amby Valley. The event was organized by Sahara Environment Excellence Destination. The objective of the event was to increase the awareness of Kartavyayogis on the need for energy conservation.

Shri OP Dixit, Hon’ble Deputy Director, Amby Valley addressed the gathering on importance of energy conservation. It was stressed that one unit of energy saved is equivalent to two units of energy produced. An information booklet titled “Energy & Water Conservation” was launched and distributed to all the participating Kartavyayogis.



During the event, a team consisting of Shri Jay Kumar, Shri Darshak Mehta and Shri Sanjeev Gowsane from Mitcon Consultancy Services Ltd delivered a presentation on energy conservation with special emphasis on residential and commercial buildings. The Energy Conservation Act 2001 and Electricity Bill 2003 were explained with importance of renewal energy. It was also highlighted how energy savings is related to reduction of harmful green house gas emission.
