PCRA launches ‘SAKSHAM’ campaign for green and clean energy awareness

Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas recently launched a month long campaign, highlighting the adverse health and environmental impacts of increasing carbon footprints with a view to create awareness among the consumers of fossil fuels, Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA).

The campaign through various pan-India activities such as cyclothon, farmer workshops, seminars, painting competition, CNG vehicle driving contest, etc will spread awareness among masses about the advantages of using clean fuels. The campaign will also spread awareness about 7 key drivers that Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently mentioned, saying that collectively these would help India move towards cleaner energy. The key drivers include-

1. Moving towards a gas-based economy
