The Indian Railways has added another feather to its cap by bagging 17 major national energy conservation awards declared by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) of the Ministry of Power, reports The New Indian Express.
The 17 awards constitute 30 per cent of the total number of prizes which were announced. Among all the organisations which have been awarded, the railways comes first with the greatest number of awards.
Minister of Railways Piyush Goyal lauded officials for making this achievement possible and asked them to continue with the same performance to further energy efficiency and conservation efforts in the railways.
The awards were classified into five main categories, out of which the railways participated in three, that is railway stations, hospitals and institutions.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
