Mohali, 14 Dec : Indo Global colleges organized a seminar on “Power Saving awareness”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.
