Oil conservation stressed during Oil Conservation week in E-Max

Students pedal their way to promote oil conservation

Students from Emax Group of Institutions took out a bicycle rally to mark the ongoing ‘Oil Conservation Week’. The rally was organised by youth club PRAYAS of Emax Institutes to propagate ‘Conservation of Oil and Gas. The rally was led by Dr. B.S.Jaswal, Director Computer Application.  He also administered an oath to the students towards energy conservation. The students carrying placards on bicycles with the message of oil and gas conservation went around various places. A human chain was also formed by the students. Various posters were displayed and distributed giving useful tips to drivers, housewives and industrialists for the conservation of petroleum products. The main aim during the week was to kindle the interest of the general public in the conservation of the petroleum products.

Addressing the students after the rally, Dr. jaswal said that people need to travel, but most of them can travel around easily with their own means ie by cycling and walking. Both are cheap, quick, quiet and clean, he said. He also said these activities will be continued so as to create a mass movement for conservation.

CMD of the institute Om Prakash Aggarwal reminded the gathering that fossil fuel would get exhausted in a matter of few decades and thus conservation was the need of the hour. He said oil conservation must get into our habit and only public sensitisation stood as the most effective means to achieve conservation goals.

While addressing a gathering, Chairman of the Institute PR Bansal said, “The availability of petroleum products is limited and as such these should be used carefully. India has to depend on other nations for petroleum products and this adversely affects the economy of our country. By using these carefully, we will not only be able to control our resources, but also check pollution.” He said with country’s dependency over imported petroleum products increasing as high as 70 per cent, the importance to save oil has assumed paramount significance.

Pradeep Aggarwal, Managing Director of the institute emphasized the role of children in the conservation of oil for the future. He stressed the need for sustainable development and conservation of the precious oil products.
