Launching the initiative, the state Revenue, New and Renewable Energy Resources Minister Bikram Singh Majithia said that at present only a passing reference was made to this topic in teaching lessons in schools, suggesting that adequate space should be given to its study for sensitising students.
The Minister said there was a target of energy-saving of 20 per cent in domestic sector in coming five years.
"Another purpose of this unique initiative was to create energy auditors among students, principals and teachers and to rope in 40 lakh school students in next three years to make them not only the ambassadors for energy-saving but also for promoting the renewable energy in a big way, thereby making this clean energy a significant part of their lives", he added.
