Vol.6. Issue 4, January 2015
ear Friends,
A new year has just begun and I would like to take this
opportunity to extend my heartfelt wishes to each one of
you. There is renewed enthusiasm and vigor in the air as we
step into this brand new year. However, before we do so,
let’s take a moment to reflect upon our actions in the year
gone by. Let’s take this as our chance to learn from our past
mistakes and step into 2015 with increased wisdom.
While we have plans galore for Club Enerji in 2015, I want
to take this opportunity to share with you all of you that
we’ve had a great 2014; we undertook some really new
amd innovative initiatives and received some great
responses.
The 2014 edition of our annual ‘Oorja Samvardhan Divas’
was highly encouraging, to say the least. The families of
beloved employees joined in and helped us make the
programme a success. A step that we took with each one of
you – the torchbearers of our future – has now snowballed
into a movement that our employees have participated in it
too.
That aside, we’re overjoyed at the participation that we
received from many of you in our Maharally, numerous
other rallies, human chains and other initiatives. The mini
clubs have not just participated in such initiatives but have
come-up with innovative ways of spreading awareness and
engaging people in various ways to conserve energy. It will
only encourage us to do better in our future endeavors.
We intend to reach out to more people across geographies
and extend our presence on digital media. We will focus on
exciting, engaging and innovative ways to spread
awareness through our digital platforms. Hope you all take
active interest in all such endeavours and support us like you
have always done.
With the city finals now well behind us, we’re waiting
eagerly for the start of Energy-Q. Here’s wishing hordes of
good luck to each one of you participating. May the best
team win! I also want to add here that I am particularly
impressed by the efforts being put in by the students
towards making Energy-Quiz and Carnival a hit!
Warm Regards,
Anil Sardana

Oorja Samvardhan Divas
Club Enerji, Tata Power's nationwide energy conservation
movement, celebrated 'Oorja Samvardhan Divas' across twelve
locations to mark the commencement of National Energy
Conservation Week. Family members and spouses of the
Company's employees became the torch-bearers of Club Enerji's
efforts towards conservation, and educated students across
Mundra, Jojobera, Kalinganagar, Naraj Marthapur, Tiruldih,
Khopoli, Bhira, Bhivpuri, Lonavala and Mumbai on valuable
practices to conserve energy. The programme will be conducted
at Maithon and Haldia on December 18, covering more than 500
students across 4 schools.
The objective of the programme was to continue with its mission
of reaching out to the young minds and creating awareness on
the need to save our planet for a sustainable tomorrow. The
volunteers conducted the awareness sessions via videos and
PowerPoint presentations on the six golden rules of energy
conservation, and successfully sensitised 4782 students across
38 schools. A poster-making competition on the theme of 'Save
Energy, Save Power' was organised to instil a sense of
responsibility amongst the students towards building a
sustainable future. Students were also taught how to read the
electricity bill and were made to take a pledge towards
conservation of energy and resources. They proudly sported the
badges declaring them to be 'Energy Champs', which were
distributed by the volunteers, also known as 'Energy Mentors'. At
the end of the programme, certificates signed by Mr. Anil
Sardana, MD and CEO, Tata Power, were awarded to School
Principals for their cooperation and participation, and to winners
of the poster competitions.
The event in each school was concluded on a green note by the
participating students who planted saplings in the premises of
their schools. The importance of green cover and protecting our
life givers was imparted to the children and close to 1,000 trees
were planted by the students.
