The event signifies CSIR’s aim to spread awareness about climate change and its ill effects.

Speaking on the occasion, Prof Chetan Singh Solanki of IIT, Bombay and Founder, Energy Swaraj Foundation said that there is an urgent need for every citizen of the country to be energy literate. He said every citizen must take steps to avoid or minimise energy usage as much as possible.
