Behavioural change is crucial for bringing energy efficiency to all sectors,” she said.

 

The President said energy conservation is the most environmentally friendly and reliable source of energy. Energy conservation is not just an option, but the most crucial need of today, she said.

Energy conservationisal so important for maintaining clean air and safe water sources, and a balanced ecosystem, Murmu said, adding,“Every unit of energy we save will be a symbolo four responsibility towards nature and our sensitivity towards future generations.” If the youth and children are aware about energy conservation and make efforts in this direction, the goals in this area can be achieved and the sustainable development of the country can be ensured, the President said
