Mumbai: Club Enerji, Tata Power’s nationwide energy conservation movement, today organised a special program for Independence Day in collaboration with Rizvi Springfield School, Bandra, Mumbai on water conservation. The objective of the initiative is 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 organized exhibition, cyclothon and tree plantation to instill the message of sustainability among students.

The exhibition on Water Conservation was organized in the School Auditorium where Primary and Secondary students of the school participated with great enthusiasm. The students created projects focusing on sub 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.” To commemorate the occasion, the students enacted a street play on the cause of water conservation, combined with creative dialogues as well as a song and dance sequence which was greatly enjoyed by the parents who attended the exhibition.

Close to 200 students from classes V to VIII participated in cycle rally and sensitized citizens of Bandra through posters and slogans with crucial messages of environment and water conservation. The students of Club Enerji feel strongly for this cause and sensitized their peers and society as high levels of urbanization 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.

Speaking on the initiative,Mr. Anil Sardana, Managing Director-Tata Power said, “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.”
