Moderating and Regulating the energy requirement and increasing the efficiency of energy generation , distribution & utilization are two the very important tool to increase energy security .

The demands must be met through safe ,  clean and  convenient form of energy which is technically efficient , economically viable , people friendly and environmentally sustainable.
