The FINANCIAL — Club Enerji, Tata Power's nationwide energy conservation movement, organised a special programme for Independence Day in collaboration with Rizvi Springfield School, Bandra, Mumbai, on water conservation. The objective of the initiative was to create awareness among students about the importance of water as a natural resource. In order to make this initiative a great success, Club Enerji also organised an exhibition, cyclothon and tree plantation drive to instill the message of sustainability among students, according to Tata Sons.
The exhibition on water conservation was organised in the school auditorium and primary and secondary students of the school participated with great enthusiasm. The students created projects focusing on topics like conservation of water, primary sources and uses of water, secondary drought-prone areas, water conversation and management, rain water harvesting plant, etc. The students were also educated on the need to save water as "water is a precious commodity."
Close to 200 students from classes V to VIII participated in a cycle rally and sensitised the citizens of Bandra through posters and slogans with crucial messages of environment conservation. The students of Club Enerji feel strongly for this cause and have sensitised their peers and society as high levels of urbanisation have transformed the erstwhile green city of Mumbai into a concrete jungle. Post the rally, a sapling plantation drive was conducted where 140 saplings were planted in the school premises and housing societies in the area, according to Tata Sons.
"Tata Power has always supported the cause of a "Green Mumbai" and we are extremely proud to have instilled the feeling of caring for the environment in these school children. With the launch of the Water Management Module, we are now taking sure steps in the direction of saving precious resources and also educating students about clean sources of energy," said Anil Sardana, managing director, Tata Power.
