USIAD promoting energy-saving

ISLAMABAD - A USAID’s painting competition, launched to creatively promote energy conservation among school students, has received more than 5,000 entries from all over Pakistan.
More than 700,000 students also visited the programme;s Facebook page which constantly engaged students regarding energy conservation. Of the total 5,000 paintings received, the authorities have decided to shortlist top 50 paintings and reward students for their excellent work.
Aimed at participants between the ages of 8 and 17 years, the competition embraced a variety of themes and styles from water colors to oil paints and color pencils, USAID announced here on Friday. The programme was launched in June 2012 for students to help begin a dialogue on how energy can be conserved. Both English and Urdu medium schools were targeted to engage the maximum number of students in energy conservation. Director, Communications at USAID Power Distribution Programme, Zia-ur-Rehman said students being creative and energetic may play an active role in saving energy for the nation and in saving money for their parents.
