“Similar to the NCC, NSS and Red Cross units in every school, the Energy Club will find permanent place in all schools in Tirunelveli and Tenkasi districts as saving every unit of energy is equivalent to a unit generated through non-conventional energy sources or burning fossil fuel or atomic fission or hydroelectric power station,” said S. Rajan Raj, Superintending Engineer, Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation’s Tirunelveli Circle, who inaugurated the workshop.
Executive Engineer N. Venkatesh Mani spoke about the purpose behind establishing Energy Clubs and electrical safety and Assistant Executive Engineer (Safety) Petchimuthu explained ways of conserving energy in homes, commercial establishments and schools.
Assistant Executive Engineers M. Shailaja and K. Muthusamy participated in the workshop.
