Himachal Guv underlines importance of energy efficiency

Himachal Pradesh Governor Acharya Devvrat today asked the children to come forward and educate their families, neighbourhood and society about the importance of energy conservation.
"If every individual works honestly in their respective fields, the country would definitely become 'Vishwa Guru', for which there is a need to change the mindset of people," he said at the prize distribution function of the state-level painting competition on Energy Conservation organised by Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd at Rajbhawan here.
The painting competition was held under the National Campaign on Energy Conservation of Ministry of Power and Bureau of Energy Efficiency.
The Governor urged the children to come forward and educate their families, neighbourhood and society about the importance of energy conservation.

He said that energy played a vital role in the development of nation and it was the responsibility of every citizen to conserve every bit of it.
He also underlined the need to develop a sense of patriotism and dedication towards the nation among the children and added that this spirit of love would help the country in its march towards progress.

Devvrat said that unless children were taught values like discipline, patriotism and sensitivity towards those in need, they could not become good citizens.
He urged the teachers to sensitise young minds towards issues like environment protection and selfless service towards society.

The Governor added that the Rajbhawan had taken several steps to check the misuse of power after taking inspiration from Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd (SJVNL).
