Ways to Generate Awareness Among the People

anele preservation fortnight (OCF) 4th 19thJanuary fossil anoint or crude anele is a non renewable naught source that means it is present in the trammel amount. If the pulmonary tuberculosis of crude oil will continue with the careless nature it is yetton to exhaust definitely at one day. Hence preservation of this invaluable resource is the take up of the hour. in that respectfore in order to gene browse sensation among the masses most the urgency of conserving oil color products, the celebration of an Oil Conservation Week (OCW), with the participation of the Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) and the constitutional oil diligence under the guidance of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural waste (MPNG), began in January, 1991. Considering the all overwhelming response and enthusiasm generated by OCW in the country, and to get ahead increase the reach as well as the effectiveness of the oil saving campaign, the duration of the program was increased to a fortnight from the socio-economic class 1997 onwards.During this fortnight, the en dig oil industry undertakes various kinds of activities to emphasize the wishing and sizeableness of the conservation of petroleum products and environment protection. This is carried come to the fore through print and electronic media, training programs, kisan or farmer melas, technical meets and distri only ifion of literature in national as well as vernacular languages all over the country.The activities are carried out by the State take aim Coordinators (SLCs) of the oil industry in each State under the direction of the Regional take aim Coordinators (RLCs). Awards are given to Large, Medium & Small industries, State & Regional Level Coordinators, State Transport Undertakings, Energy Auditors, Upstream & Refining oil. Companies for outstanding work in oil conservation activities. The State/ National level stress Competition Awards for students & teachers are to a fault given. Oil & G as ConservationOil and botch up conservation means their better and to a owing(p)er extent efficient use with regard to economic, social or environmental costs and benefits, resulting in acquisition of higher energy use efficiencies, minimization of wasteful practices and wastage and protection of the environment. Petroleum is the primary energy source in India and a preferred unload raise. Its consumption has been increasing at a very steep rate from 3. 5 MMT in 1950-51 to 84. 3 MMT in 1997-98 and reached 130 MMT in 2001-02 and clxxv MMT in 2006-07.The flowing estimate of indispensable gas reserves is about 100 million metric tons in the world. At current usage levels, this supply will last an estimated 100 years. In India, the situation and fertilizer welkin are major users of natural gas. In India, take of Natural gas increased from 17998 meg Cubic Metres in 1990-91 to 32274 Million Cubic Metres in 2007-08. Accordingly Strategy of Promoting Oil Conservation organizat ion has initiated various steps to promote conservation of petroleum products in the persuade, industrial, pastoral and domestic sectors.These include adoption of measures and practices which are conducive to increase enkindle readiness and training programme in the transport sector modernization of boilers, furnaces and other oil operated equipments with efficient ones and promotion of supply efficient practices and equipment in the industrial sector standardization of fuel efficient irrigator pump-sets and rectification of active pump-sets to make them more energy efficient in the agricultural sector and development as well as promotion of the use of fuel efficient equipment and appliances like kerosene and LPG stoves in the household sector.These activities are promoted and incorporated by the Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) and Oil marketing Companies under the guidance and supervision of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas. The following specific act ivities are taken up from time to time. * Multi Media Mass Awareness crusade Effective and result-oriented conservation methods adopted by the upstream undertakings in the oil sector like reduction of gas flaring by re-injection of gas to underground reservoir, installation of waste heat recovery systems, utilization of non-conventional energy sources and close monitoring of all conservation efforts by ONGC. * Energy audits, efficiency upgradation of equipment and appliances substitution of diesel with Natural Gas, deployment of solar-powered illumination panel, battery operated vehicles, Bio-gas etc. * tight Natural Gas (CNG) is use as a fuel in transport sector in m any(prenominal) countries.Its advantage is being full and clean burning fuel, besides being environment friendly fuel. * blending ethanol (5%) / methanol (3%) with Petrol for using in vehicles without any revision of engine. All these steps are certainly playing a major role in conserving Oil and Gas resources whic h are available to us in a limited amount. Let us be a part of this national activity by using natural resources wisely What Organization Can Do? Whenever you go on energy, you not only save money, you also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal, oil, and natural gas.Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of deoxycytidine monophosphate dioxide (CO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX), Carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter, Lead (Pb) etc. rase emissions of CO2which is a green house gas contributes to reduce the blow of global warming. Similarly, lower emission of particulate matter and other pollutant attention to reduce their harmful impact on the environment. For generating awareness * A naturalize Childrens Rally for awareness * Organizing Film Festival, Seminars, exhibitions emphasizing value of natural resources need for their conservation. Organizing State/ National level Essay, Painting, Speech Competition about oil conservatio n especially emphasizing that children could be a beacon of bring down to guide the elders in the family and society on how to conserve oil. * Introducing Publicity vanguard which will go all over the city spreading the means of oil conservation. * Organizing Street plays- with the objective to project the routine oil conservation messages in a different way. * Use of Solar Street lights. * In the rural sector, use of gobar gas plants, would be excellent fuel conservation technique.This awareness campaign should not end at the end of the fortnight, but should continue in the hearts of all of us. What we Can Do in our day today life for Oil Conservation * While training use wide bottom vessels with covers. * Allow food articles taken out of the refrigerators to attain room temperature originally cooking them. * Soak cereals and dals for sometime before cooking them to reduce the cooking time as well as the fuel consumption. * Use just sufficient water for cooking. * Pressure cookers used with separators lead to substantial fuel saving. * Try to eat together to neutralise repeated warming of food.This not only saves fuel but also preserves the nutritional value of food. * Light the flame only after all preparations have been made and the vessel is ready to be allot on the stove. * Use hot water from solar water heaters for cooking if the facility is available. * Try to use a solar cookers, solar lanterns. * The counterbalance rule of fuel conservation would be to travel judiciously and stamp down wasteful driving. * Wherever possible/ available and convenient, use public transport instead of using personal transport. * Matching the size of the vehicle to your need would also go a long way in conserving fuel.For voice if you have the option of a personal car and a scooter, therefore use the scooter when only two persons have to travel, and the car if more persons have to travel or heavy luggage needs to be transported. * Emphasis should be given on reducing the use of petroleum products in our day to day life and act accordingly. This can be achieved by adopting car-pooling like practices. Car pooling will not only conserve fuel but will also improve social transaction with your colleagues. * Use of solar lanterns in rural areas instead of kerosene ground lamps. As far as possible, avoid idling the vehicle betwixt red and green signal, be it a car, scooter or any other mechanized transport. * Try to buy fuel efficient vehicles. * There is no substitute for timely attention, servicing and tuning of the vehicle in fuel conservation and emission control. This should include checking of injectors and spark plugs, correct tire pressure, re-greasing, topping up or renewal of lubricants for engine and gear boxes. * separate driving habits are important for fuel conservation. Try to avoid abrupt Speeding, braking stopping, clutch riding, idling, over- speeding, and over-loading.All these small deeds will lead to fuel conservatio n and pollution control, which is our moral duty as citizens of India. It is the time we instil these measures to become a part of our daily routines. Only by practicing and lecture these conservation tips we can think of future progress. Given the difficult time ahead, it becomes our responsibility to spread this awareness, particularly amongst the youth who will be citizens of tomorrow. unplayful habits taught early will salvage the oil shortage to a great extent. This awareness campaign should not end at the end of the fortnight, but should continue in the hearts of all of us.
