Considering the huge amount spent on importing the bulk of the nation’s crude oil demand, citizens should contribute to the welfare of the nation by ensuring their bit for conservation of fuel. The State’s Agriculture and Horticulture minister Subodh Uniyal said this while inaugurating the Saksham Mahotsav at CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum here on Thursday.
The programme organised by Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA), Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas along with oil industries is being observed from January 16 to February 15 with the theme ‘Save Fuel and Energy to Save the Environment’.
Addressing the gathering, the cabinet minister said that India is importing 80 per cent of its crude oil and spending a huge amount of money for this.
