Energy is basic to life and the economic development of the
human race. Without an energy source human society cannot exist and develop in
the manner in we live and develop today. So it is important to save the energy and
practices renewable energy sources. With the purpose of energy saving and to pay
more attention to practice the renewable energy sources; had conducted seminar
serious for younger generation (student) and some public awareness programs for
general public last August 2011.
Location:
Doluwa library hall, Doluwa town,Gampola. ( Gampola is the town which is
located in Kandy district, Sri Lanka)
Organized

Doluwa is the
small town center which is located near to Gampola town. Few Months ago there
had established Doluwa Hydro power study center which was opened by honorable
Prime Minister D.M.Jayarathne and through out that project we could have supply
the electricity to the Doluwa town center at the night time and the electricity
for phone charged in Doluwa Post office at day time. Though it was opened the maintained
had done by us until checking its operations for few months. With the purpose
of handing over it to general public and creating the awareness of energy
saving and renewable energy had conducted several programs.
In the morning
session; School
Student was the targeted group for our awareness programs. Several schools in Gampola education division
had participated to this event. Nearly 250 students had taken part to this
event. Through out this session we had conducted several lecture serious
regarding renewable energy types and energy saving. Such as solar power, wind
power, hydro power and bio-gas. We also
managed to show the sample units of power generation .The response of the
students were very positive and active.
In the afternoon
session; General
public and government officers had participated to this session and it was about
“How does reduce electricity bill and why we should save energy?”. While the program was going they had a chance
to ask questions and doubtful areas. After finishing the programs most of them had
given there idea and thanked to us.
Think a minitue:
The government
of Sri Lanka had spent lot of money for power generation; Especially for Coal and
thermal power(oil) plants. In peak times and drought seasons majority of power contribution
had supplied through this coal and thermal plant. To import the oil and the
coal they had spent more capital. If you save energy as much as you can; it will
save the raw material importing cost. We can use them for country development.
Be a Responsible Citizen by saving energy.
