To explore
and celebrate the power of renewable sources of energy-Akshay Urja Diwas was
organized in HMV Collegiate Sr. Sec. School under the able stewardship of Principal Prof. Dr. (Mrs.) Ajay Sareen. The
day commemorates the birthday of former Prime Minister Mr. Rajiv Gandhi and the

need, benefits and uses of renewable energy devices and systems in all spheres
of life. The event was commenced with lighting of the lamp to spread divine
grace. The Green Champion Awardee Dr. Ajay Sareen conveyed her felicitation of
Akshay Urja Diwas to the young learners and motivated them to be considerate
towards environment. She put forth the catchword “Save Energy and Make the
Earth Greeneer” and emphasized to be highly conscious while using energy
resources. She inspires every student to use energy resources prudently by
saying that in HMV alternate energy resources are taken into great
consideration like Solar Generator, Solar Light, Solar Gysers, Rain Water
Harvesting Unit and Recycling Paper Machine are used with the purpose of
reducing wastage of energy resources so that these can be saved for posterity.
