Oil Industry in India under the guidance of Ministry of Petroleum & natural Gas is observing SAKSHAM-2020 (Sanrakshan Kshamata Mahotsav ) from 16th January’2020 to 15th February’2020 and will be conducting various awareness campaigns for one month for general public as well as industry to spread message of Oil and Gas Conservation.
India is having limited resources of petroleum products and more than 76% of demand of petroleum products is met through imports. This leads to excess pressure on our import bill and erosion of foreign reserves. Keeping in view this fact, Government of India along with Oil companies and PCRA observe SAKSHAM (Sanrakshan Kshamata Mahotshov)- Campaign on Oil & Gas Conservation every year.
The tagline of SAKSHAM-2020 is “Indhan Adhik na Khapayein, Aso Paryavaran Bachayein”.
