The Chief Minister had presided over the state level painting competition on energy conservation organised by the Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Limited (SJVNL) under national campaign on Energy Conservation-2018 of union ministry of Power.
He stated that the goal of energy conservation techniques must be to reduce demand, protect and replenish supplies, develop and use alternative energy sources. This can be achieved either by using energy more efficiently or by reducing the amount of service used.

He expressed happiness that about 1.50 lakh students of over 5000 schools of the state participated in this competition and that SJVNL has emerged as one of the leading corporation of the country in power generation and credit for this goes to the dedicated officers and officials of the corporation.
