Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) under the aegis of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of India, has been in the forefront to create mass awareness towards conservation of petroleum products, promoting fuel-efficient equipment and helping the government by proposing policies and strategies for petroleum conservation.

The way they derive energy from wastes is very inspiring. Through a visit to the Shinagawa Incineration Plant, I came to know about their technique of garbage disposal and derivation of heat and electricity by burning combustible wastes Aditya Pratap Jena,

Apart from having the right policies, the Japanese have placed importance on awareness which we experienced while interacting with students at the OISCA School. Importance is given to environmental education and educating the masses to follow a sustainable lifestyle and consumption.Sumukh Pinge,

The customs and traditions of Japenese are very similar to that of Indians, be it having holy water or burning incense sticks. It was indeed a memorable and very educative trip. Japan is a beautiful country with very warm and helpful people, who are indeed very disciplined. Ishaan Singh,
