Youth involvement

Club Enerji banks on the youth to play a vital role in communicating efficient usage of energy The working is towards curbing energy wastage which emits greenhouse gases that lead to global warming and climate change.

It works with schools and encourages students to form their own mini clubs and societies to reach out to more citizens. The mini clubs undertake rallies, street plays, cyclothons and exhibitions to sensitise people on energy conservation. Anil Sardana, Managing Director, Tata Power, said, “We are thankful to all the students and schools for supporting us in our efforts to save our planet. We are determined to continue with our programme and sensitise the citizens of tomorrow about the dire need of resource conservation along with moral and civic values. In the coming years, the club plans to roll out a ‘waste management module’ to create awareness about the advantages of waste management and methods of generating power using waste.”
