In response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal for resource optimization, the Power Ministry in India is launching several initiatives aimed at reducing fuel consumption. Starting Monday, 20% of the ministry's employees will work from home on a rotational basis, significantly cutting down daily commuting. Additionally, officials are encouraged to utilize public transport options, such as the Delhi Metro and local bus services. The ministry is also considering carpooling arrangements with Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) buses for staff from both the Power and Urban Development Ministries. Furthermore, a voluntary portal will be established for employees to report their family-owned vehicles, including odometer readings, with plans to review this data monthly. Employees demonstrating minimal vehicle usage during this period will be eligible for small incentives, promoting a culture of fuel conservation and responsible resource use. This initiative aligns with the government's broader focus on sustainable practices and energy conservation.
