The event, organised at Govt. Boys Sr. Sec. School, SU-Block Pitampura, witnessed students’ participation in various competitions like science model making, drawing competition, extempore speech and nukkad natak. Winners of these competitions compete for the Urja Cup.

The participating schools are part of Tata Power-DDL’s Club Enerji program, which spreads awareness and educates school children for bringing societal and behavioral change in energy consumption and conservation of natural resources. The club sensitises youth about the importance of environment and energy conservation through conservation tips, workshops and regular sessions on related topics.
Addressing the students and teachers during the Urja Mela, Mr. Ganesh Srinivasan, CEO, Tata Power-DDL said, “It is heart-warming to witness the exemplary performances and ideas of the young minds at the Urja Mela. They are the torch-bearers of the future and we at Tata Power-DDL firmly believe that instilling the understanding of energy and environment conservation in them is the key to sustainable living. With the growing population, the consumption trends are changing and in order to ensure that electricity is made available to all, we would have to tap into the renewable and clean energy landscape. The broader aim of Urja Mela is to raise environmental awareness and inculcate a sense of responsibility amongst the youngsters at large.”
Tata Power-DDL launched Club Enerji program in 2004 with a few schools and at present, in the 12th phase of this initiative, 360 Delhi Government and Private Schools are its members.
