Oil and Gas is a key primary energy resource, fulfilling about 40% of country’s energy demand. The major sectors of economy which utilize Oil & Gas are Transport, Industry, commercial buildings and agriculture. Our country is currently importing over 75% crude oil to met domestic consumption. Therefore, generating awareness among the consumers about judicious use of petroleum products is a National initiative. The daily consumers can realize that by adopting simple conservation measures they can minimize wastage of fuel in day to day life and save substantial cost.

To promote conservation of petroleum products and environment protection in the country, MOP&NG in the year 1991 took the initiative to celebrate Oil Conservation Week (OCW) every year throughout the country. Encouraged by the tremendous success of campaign, w.e.f. the year 2004, this event is being observed as “Oil & Gas Conservation Fortnight (OGCF). With the involvement of all the Oil & Gas companies, State Govt., Transport Corporations, NGOs, this nation-wide campaign has eventually become very effective tool in creating and spreading awareness among the masses about the importance of conservation of petroleum products in the country.

During this 15 day period, a large number of activities like technical seminars, symposiums, quiz, painting competitions, mass / cycle rallies, marathons, human chain, etc. are arranged for the propagation of Oil and Gas conservation message amongst the major consuming sectors. Every year, the functions and events are held at Delhi, state Capitals, District and towns.

This year also, it is proposed to celebrate this OGCF (2015), from 16th to 31st January; with new / innovative activities connecting various target groups and common people.

PCRA invites suggestions from all citizens about the conservation activities which can result in better outreach and involvement of common consumers so that they develop greater responsibility towards Oil & Gas conservation.

Last date for sending your suggestions is 20th December, 2014.

Let the major cities' Police identify busy roads. Let the traffic in no. of vehicles that use them during 24 hours be counted. Let the respective State Govts. hold a competition between these busy roads to award that City that see the least nos. of vehicles say, on a comparable percentage basis ON That Declared day of Competition. 2. OR, Let us reverse the Same Competition ! "States to conduct competition on maxm use of public transports on a working Declared Day among cities"

Sir ,Now a days car is making a status symbol in every home ,every member of family having his own car this is making our cities more polluted and congested than why shouldn't we discourage these people to use these cars by imposing heavy Taxes on every 2nd car e,g.100% excise duty .200% on 3rd and 300% on every additional car or Suv. then only we can control traffic and pollution in our cities.

All ministers, members of parliament and state assemblies should use cars sparingly and use public transport as a rule. There should be a company-bus kind of pick up mechanism for them when parliament or assemblies are in session. Invest in public transport. Introduce bicycle hiring hubs in all towns and cities. Encourage car pooling among parents with school going children and among office-goers.

The public transport system to be made more effective and more convenient than a private car. The B.R.T.S. is a good effort, but it is seen that this is not meeting the aim for which it was built. Government should make it more efficient and more effective.

Banning the use of private cars or restricting a citizen to buy more than one vehicle will be counterproductive. This may lead to protests because of encroachment of state on freedom of citizens. Instead promotion of non conventional fuels like biomethane and ethanol should be encouraged. The use of energy sources like solar, wind, tidal, geothermal etc should be boosted and these should escape from the ncert textbooks to its application level.! they always sleep in textbooks.Let them wake up!

Human waste should be treated to produce bio methane and can be used as fuel to run buses. First bus of such kind has been a success in Britain and news has been recently seen in newspapers. Why not India try to use human and food waste for the production of gas which is more eco friendly. We can try this in our trains and help the railway station premises to be neat and tidy.Oil and gas consumption can be reduced and sustainable ways can be introduced by this method. Try Try !

We find in big cities, people running from one corner of city to the other corner, and vice-versa for jobs, spending both time ( in hours ) for their jobs. Large companies like Infosys, TCS etc. should be asked to make residential accommodation available for their employees in the vicinity of offices, to avoid wastage of both fuel and time. Much can be studied from the townships of Steel Plants (I worked for 32 years), and also factories like BHEL etc. We should also get rid of traffic jams.
