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.

This will help in saving huge diesel requirement and huge saving to govt. solar & bio gas stove at villages will save kerosene consumption in turn help villagers to save money. 2. Govt to derisk of procuring oil from few countries. Usage of ETHANOL with petrol & diesel has to take off in big scale which will help the farmers/industries. This will help the govt in the oil bill payment. What was said in the election time should be implemented it shouldn't be a speech during elections.

India can be super power if we manage 3 things...1. Fuel (petrol/diesel etc.) 2. Dollar price 3. population growth... Fuel: India has to invest/explore huge oil reserves from NE/Rasjasthan/J&K/Assam & from both the oceans (Indian/Arabian). Govt has to support farmers in cultivating JATROPA Plants to produce Bio fuel. We have untapped resources this needs urgent attention both from Govt & private companies to explore oil. We need to move towards converting all our railway line electrified

Now a days we are hearing good news that cow slaughtering is stopping in most of Indian states. And we can use these resources to generate Bio gas from cow dung and make bio gas fuel and Electricity from that bio gas. And best part is that final product we will get as a good organic fertilizer which can be use to make organic farming. And these way we can reduce fuel cost and chemical fertilizer and pesticides. Bonus is that we will get organic foods.

The only way to save fuel for future generation is to IMPROVE THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT FACILITIES. People should be made feel like public transport facilities are CHEAPER, SAFER & FASTER.

I saw all these big advertisement on conservation of fuels,saving energy. But do we really care about saving such valuable resources? I found the answer to above question as a big NO when I saw bigger ads on fuel stations about giving these valuable and lasting energy resources, free of cost. Eg. 1000 ka petrol bharwao air saal bhar free petrol paane ka mauka pao. Also we have encouraged people not to save but use more fuels. We are not in a state to encourage people for spending more on fuel.

Dear sir, Instead of using fossil fuels can we not use bio fuels.recently scientists in Bangalore have demonstrated a prototype to generate gas using vegetable oil, water and solar power in a reactor. Half a kg of cooking is sufficient to cook food for 20days for a family. Can we not use such technology and reduce dependence on fossil fuel so that india has alternative solution.

Oil & Gas we are get from dead and decaying digging compost. For example:We are getting coal in Andhra Pradesh & T.S from Singarini Mines by digging the coal in this process so many people are dieing by falling into it..... So why to kill a human for conserving petro chemical products my opinion is to use Solar Products. It help us for saving environmental pollution. As petro chemical products are not renewable products so we should give them less priority when compared to solar products.
