Introduction

Ever increasing demand for petroleum products is putting a fair amount of financial pressure on our national exchequer. Financial burden is even more in the case of products which are heavily subsidized. With increase in our standard of living, use of petroleum products Is registering a high growth and demand for it is outperforming supply to a very large extent.

This is resulting in a heavy import burden. Conservation of these products, therefore, calls for our priority attention. It is expected that in future, energy crunch will increase many fold. It is imperative that we must educate our future citizens, that is our students and youth, about this. With this view PCRA has been conducting youth Programmes for the students and youth for the last few years to reach our future citizens and make them oriented towards energy conservation. Though we are conducting a good number of such programmes, still it is not sufficient in view of the large number of the target group.
