The awards recognized Club Enerji for its efforts and achievements in spreading awareness about energy conservation amongst students and teachers across the country, along with the company’s unique four-decade programme Act for Mahseer for ‘Awareness Branding’ that helped save the river fish species from the threat of extinction.

For over a decade, these two programmes have been instrumental in sensitizing young minds on energy and resource conservation and achieving environmental conservation goals.”

Four decades ago, Tata Power initiated its flagship biodiversity programme ‘Act for Mahseer’. Over these years, it has strived to conserve this legendary fish by operating in three thematic areas: Captive Breeding, Ecology and Awareness & Sensitization. This unique programme has not only managed to save the Mahseer fish from extinction but also become an additional source of livelihood for the local communities and is fast emerging as an avenue for eco-tourism for recreational anglers.
