Karachi Electric Supply Company successfully launched the E-Force school awareness program on
KESC plans to sensitize in the initial phase 25000 school children from 150 schools in Karachi about energy conservation through talks and presentations .The following will be covered through the awareness session.
- The importance of energy conservation, and the city’s dependence on electrical power.
- Increasing demand for energy and limitation of resources.
- The enormous amount of capital, resources and manpower required to generate electricity for the city.
- Impact on the environment.
The program is a continuous initiative and will continue to sensitize children and the citizen of Karachi. It will also emphasize on the following:
Instruct students in the interpretation of Electricity Bills, and conservation through energy-efficient use of domestic appliances.
- Explain and emphasize the role of awareness in the individual, the family and the community.
- Involve students in an exercise to monitor and reduce energy bills in their homes by adopting the energy conservation methods suggested.
- Select a team of Power Champs from each school.
- Provision of creative outlay for children in order to exhibit their ideas.
E force provides the ground for children to share and expand their understanding, and bring about a chain-reaction that can significantly reduce wastage of energy in the city. With adequate publicity, KESC will sensitize Karachi’s citizens, and the spark can turn into a spreading flame of enthusiasm to protect our resources and environment.
The response so far is overwhelmingly encouraging both from the children and the school administration. This initiative from KESC comes as a pleasant surprise simultaneously for the children, teachers and the school administration. The programme will go a long way in the creation of a next generation platform to change the consumption habits and overall perception of KESC in the minds of our consumer.
