Mohali,15th December:-- A seminar on "Power Saving awareness" was
organized today by Indo Global colleges at its campus, where students
present their innovative views to save energy and participated in
painting competition. According to the students electricity can be
saved up to 20% - 30% from electricity bills by follow the simple
steps i.e. to use always the natural air and light and avoid switching
on lights during the day, Promptly switch off the lights and fans when
the occupants leave the room / hall, Slim tube lights give better
light and consume less electricity than the filament lamps, Avoid
opening the refrigerator frequently.
Dr. Promila Kaushal Principal presided over the function and while
speaking on this occasion said that our traditional energy sources of
coal, oil, firewood etc were estimated to last after 20 -25 years,
but the hike in demand would exhaust the resources within 10 to 12
years. Thus, it was necessary to adopt the alternative measures to
adopt solar energy devices to save energy, which would reduce the
pollution and save people from various fatal diseases. She further
added that it is high time for entrepreneurs and residents to tap
non-conventional sources of power. Natural resources should be
preserved and renewable energy sources should be utilized. The
students presented papers on Energy saving. It was laudable to note
the efforts of the students explaining the concept of energy saving
through their technical papers. The best paper was presented by
Harpal Singh & Akash Pahwa Pre Final Year students of mechanical
engineering branch wherein they explained how end use energy
conservation has great power because energy saved at the point of use
can save many times that amount of energy if the inefficiencies of
energy production and distribution are carefully monitored and
controlled. Sukhdev Kumar Singla, Chairman of Indo Global Colleges
congratulated the winners of technical paper presentation. He said
energy conservation and efficient use of energy is the need of the
hour and the simplest way of avoiding wastage is by spreading the
important message of energy conservation and by making simple life
style changes which would not only yield better energy utilisation but
also help us to live healthier lives.
