National Energy conservation day is celebrated every year on December 14. The day is observed in an effort to reduce the consumption of energy and use it efficiently. Energy conservation is the way to avoid the use of unnecessary energy and to save it for future uses. The day aims to create awareness of energy conservation and initiate conversations and discussions.

In order to see, success, every person should contribute their little bit to the conservation of energy.  Every person can minimise the use of energy, by switching off the fan, light, and other electrical pieces of equipment when they don't need it. This is a small step, which every individual can contribute to in conserving the energy.
