Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister M Veerappa Moily has called upon Petroleum Conservation & Research Association (PCRA) to scale up its activities for intensifying conservation and optimum utilisation of oil & gas in the country.

Inaugurating Oil & Gas Conservation Fortnight organised by PCRA here today, Moily asked PCRA to formulate mechanisms for rating of automobiles in the country based on their fuel efficiency. The minister said that he would soon review these issues.
Moily also said the energy auditing should encompass all sectors as utilisation of national resources on sustainable basis need to be a top priority. He pointed out that everyone should be not only concerned about today but posterity or tomorrow.
'Mere growth (without sustainability) may lead to chaos,' he said. The minister added that those who utilise national wealth (like oil & gas) appropriately should be recognised as patriots and called for this to become a national movement.

The Ministers gave away conservation awards to the winners in various categories including for Essays and Paintings by children, besides flagging off Publicity Vans carrying messages & literature on fuel conservation. PCRA is an organization under the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas which propagates the message of fuel (Oil & Gas) conservation throughout the year.
