A national level campaign is envisaged as an effort to kick start a mass movement for a Energy Self Reliance of India.
The Abhiyan is being organized by Vijnana Bharati in collaboration with Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Govt. of India, hosted by Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology (VNIT) along with Bureau of Energy Efficiency, Petroleum Conservation Research Association, Society of Energy Engineers and Managers (SEEM), NEERI, MGIRI and 20 major institutions of our country in the energy sector.
The current situation warrants a ‘revolution’, an ‘Orange Revolution’, to secure energy security for the country through balancing the diversified forces of technology, policies, and market mechanisms, involving all stakeholders. Green Revolution, White Revolution, and now the Orange Revolution. All these colors together symbolize the tricolor flag of India. As a first step towards Orange Revolution, Vijnana Bharati, MNRE, VNIT and others have taken the initiative to organize 1st IIES 2011.
Orange Revolution – a revolution for sustainability, is about
- Energy technologies & their effective deployment
- Formulating EE/RE strategies & its implementation at grass-root level
- Energy planning providing focused & workable solutions
- Development of trainers, solution providers as well as users to manage their energy resources effectively
An ‘Orange Revolution’, to ensure energy security for the country through balancing the diversified forces of technologies, policies and market mechanisms, will be launched on this occasion.
