JAMMU, Sept 11: BJP State president and MLA Jammu West Sat Sharma (C.A) handed over hundreds of LED bulbs to people of Jammu under the Central Government’s UJALA (Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LED’s for All) here at Supertech India Computer Education, Talab Tillo today.
The MLA who distributed LED Bulbs under the domestic efficient lighting programme in Jammu, described them as a way to light.
Speaking on the occasion, the MLA called for making energy conservation through the spread of LED bulbs, a people’s movement. He noted that it is much more economical to conserve power, than to produce power. However, he added, it is much more difficult to conserve power, than to produce power, because while one producing entity can produce a large quantity of power, it requires the active participation of crores of people to conserve that amount of power. Therefore, he called for generating awareness among people for the same. He called for extensive involvement of eminent citizens in these programmes, who could motivate people to adopt LED bulbs.
The MLA called for setting ward level goals, and to prioritize this scheme in all towns.
The initiative is part of the Government’s efforts to spread the message of energy efficiency in the state & country. LED bulbs have a very long life, almost 50 times more than ordinary bulbs, and 8-10 times that of CFLs, and therefore provide both energy and cost savings in the medium term.
BJP district president Ayodhya Gupta, Sangathan Mantri, Mohan Singh Rana, district general secretaries Sanjeev Sharma & Prem Gupta, Mandal president, Jeet Angral, district Mahila Morcha president Veena Gupta, district media secretary Puneet Mahajan, district cashier, Parveen Ghai, office secretary Dr. Pardeep Mahotra and others were present.
