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.
In August 2016, under the able guidance of Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of State (I/C), MOP & NG, an all India Essay & Painting competition was conducted by PCRA attracting massive participation. Addressing the objective of inculcating a sense of responsibility in young minds, winners were awarded attractive prizes along with a study tour of Japan, to learn about the advancements and efforts made towards petroleum conservation and energy efficiency in developed countries.
Essay, Quiz and Painting competitions for 2017 have been rolled out. This is a golden opportunity for millions of young, budding students to test their calibre & bag coveted certificates, prizes and an all-expenses paid educational foreign trip to a foreign country. The schools and students may keep themselves updated by visiting www.pcra.org regularly for conservation tips and methods.

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 Japanese 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. Singapore is a beautiful country with very warm and helpful people, who are indeed very disciplined. Ishaan Singh,
