- More than 170 students participated and sensitised around 500 people on Energy Conservation -

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 across the country.

Over 170 students from Shree Narayan Guru Vidyalaya came together to spread the message on energy conservation. The initiative was a joint venture between Tata Power Club Enerji and the Rotary Club Ahmedabad - Sterling. The students enthusiastically prepared posters, banners and placards with paintings depicting various ways to save energy. They walked a distance of 3 KM sensitizing more than 500 people from the street and all around.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Anil Sardana, Managing Director, Tata Power said, "We are happy that Club Enerji is playing a vital role in aiding young minds, who have been the core influencers in advocating energy and resource conservation. The enthusiasm, involvement and dedication of the school students to spread the message about energy 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 along with the Rotary Club Ahmedabad in extending their whole-hearted support to this initiative."
