National Energy Conservation Week aims to generate awareness among the masses in India about the importance of saving energy.  The main objective of the day is to reduce the use of energy and to encourage people to use it efficiently. The Bureau of Energy Efficiency – BEE, has been leading the celebrations of National Energy Conservation Day annually on December 14 since 1991. A constitutional body that falls under the Government of India, the Bureau of Energy Efficiency assists in the development and implementation of strategies and policies to reduce excessive consumption of energy.
