They even explained through drawings that solar power could be generated and sold also.
Speaking on the occasion, KREDL Project Engineer D.K. Dinesh Kumar contended that a unit of energy saved is equivalent to two units generated. He opined that if children become aware of power conservation, they could convey the message to their parents also.

Similarly, he contended that the so-called zero-watt bulb used in puja rooms also consumes about 25% of power of a regular bulb.
