To conserve energy the awareness of this valuable resource has to be generated.Rural and small towns where electric distribution is through overhead lines,are suffering from hooking of electricity by throwing a wire hook on the overhead line and connect the other end to the house wiring.Thus electricity becomes free to such house holds.Unfortunately,this practice is being adopted as a rule rather than as a exception.In such a situation covering the whole country,how can we talk of conservation?
