Contest is now closed

Thank you for the overwhelming response to our “It’s All About ME” Contest. The contest is now closed.

Our Energy Efficiency partner AEEE have selected Rahul Rai as the winner of the contest.

Winning Idea: Urban dwellings have typically dark roofs which absorb sunlight and thus raise the temperature of the room below. The idea is to paint the roof white, so that it absorbs less sunlight and reduces cooling requirements.

Bumper Prize: A brand new LED TV

Here is the list of our daily winners who have won tablets.

Name Winning Idea
O S Mukundan Clean air-conditioner filters monthly as it enables the unit to cool down quickly and consumes less energy
S Baskaran Use solar heaters, replace your pumps with energy efficient ones, switch off power at source

Komal Sain We generally tend to forget that energy saving is not meant just for home but EVERYWHERE! Switch off your monitor and CPUs before leaving office, it helps!
Dinamani Garud Geysers come with a pre-set temperature setting, but 40oC is comfortable for a bath. Instead of heating water to a higher temperature and then mixing with cold water, change your geyser setting once to conserve electricity every day.
Neelu Nagpal All street, colony, park lights should be solar. Government should consider extending expertise and rebate to those who want to install solar panels in their homes and offices
Salman Khan Allow enough space – at least six inches – for air circulation between your refrigerator and the wall to allow heat generated by compressor and motor to escape
Sharath Chandra P Painting your roof white is a simple, highly effective way of saving energy as by reflecting sunlight, this improves the heat-island effect by up to 80% compared to ordinary rooftops
G Parsaram Reddy India is a nation of farmers, who mostly use electric pump sets that consume millions of megawatts of power. Solar water pump sets can save energy as well as reduce pollution
Vineet Shastry If electricity meters display the current bill in Rupees along with the units consumed, it will bring energy consumption / conservation up for discussion on day to day basis
Deepak Nikose Corporate & Educational institutes to encourage its employees & students by giving them the carbon credit for using bicycle/public transport . Reward them with bonus or marks to honour them.
Siddhant Kumar Singh Clean or replace the A/C filter regularly to help your unit run more efficiently and trim cooling costs
Harsh Pratap Singh Villagers and the common man should be made aware about the need to conserve energy as it doesn’t matter how many ideas we have until a large part of our population lacks understanding about the looming crisis
Shashank Kadia During summers, hanging wet vetiver roots sheets (khastatti) in doorways and windows will keep your house cool and it can cut down your A.C. usage by more than half

Aim of the Campaign

Mission Energy aims to highlight the power of an individual because we believe that the power to make a difference lies in our hands. It’s all about ME.

India is reaching a crucial tipping point. As the world’s fourth largest power consumer, how we use or save energy affects the entire planet. In order to meet India’s growing energy demand, it is important to not only increase electricity-generating capacity, preferably through renewable sources, but also use energy efficiently.

Through this campaign, we aim to shine a spotlight on India’s energy challenges and actively engage with the country’s leading experts, policy makers, conservationists, industry voices and NGOs to highlight the growing requirement for energy efficiency and conservation and help chart a roadmap to a sustainable future.

We hope that the Mission Energy Challenge – one of the campaign’s biggest components and India’s first televised eco-challenge – will create awareness about viable solutions for conservation and efficiency that can be adopted, both at an individual level as well as collectively, and inspire millions to join us in our attempts for a cleaner, greener future.

Mission Energy is supported by CII as Knowledge Partner and AEEE as Energy Efficiency Partner.
