The Oil crisis of 1970s brought into sharp focus the need for conservation of petroleum products due to the enormous hike in country’s import bill. The Government in response set up the Petroleum Conservation Action Group (PCAG) in 1976, which reported that a conservation potential of about 20% existed in major sectors of the economy. PCAG was subsequently reconstituted on 10th August’ 1978 as Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) with a vision to become a center of excellence for conservation of hydrocarbons & environment protection for sustainable development, of our inherent strength.
Petroleum Conservation Research Association is a registered society set up under the aegis of Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, Government of India (MoP&NG). PCRA is a national government agency engaged in promoting conservation of petroleum products & energy efficiency in various sectors of economy. It helps the government in proposing policies and strategies for petroleum conservation, aimed at reducing excessive dependence of the country on oil requirement.
PCRA aims at making oil conservation a national movement. As part of its mandate, PCRA is entrusted with the task of creating awareness amongst the masses about the importance, methods and benefits of conserving petroleum products & emission reduction. It sponsors R&D activities for the development of fuel-efficient equipment / devices. The other major activities being carried out by PCRA are Driver training programs/Workshops on fuel efficient driving, Model depot projects for State Transport Undertakings for efficient operations, Energy Audits for energy conservation & energy efficiency potential, ISO 50001 certification for Energy Management System, Perform-Achieve-Trade(PAT) for designated consumers to reduce specific energy consumption, Fuel oil diagnostic studies to identify energy efficiency opportunities, Development of fuel economy norms for Heavy Duty Vehicles, workshops/ exhibitions, consumer meets, education films/TV spots, hoarding/ electronic display, distribution of printed literature. Over the years, PCRA has enlarged its role in improving productivity in use of various sources of energy, for the purpose of achieving environment protection and sustainable development.
The demand of petroleum products in the country is growing steadily and Govt. Policy as spelt out in India hydrocarbon vision 2025 considers issues such as energy security, use of alternate fuels and interchangeability of technology as vital to ensure that mix of energy sources used in economy is optimal and sustainable.
Towards its mission for efficient energy utilization and environment protection, PCRA is working with the support of Public Sector Oil & Gas Companies, Government & Non-Government Organizations, Research Institutes and Laboratories, Educational Institutes, Consumer Associations and other organizations.
Revisiting the Mandate
PCRA has made all endeavour to deliver on its mandate for nearly 4 decades. With changing time, it is imperative to revisit our mandate so that it is in synchronisation with challenges of the day and future.
In view of the above, PCRA solicit the opinion/suggestion of the People of India to add/delete so that the spectrum of its mandate can be widened.

I have said this before on this app the lubrication oil has to be returned to petroleum refinery for reprocessing. As the quantities are large with more vehicles every day. The oil is being used for recycling and adulteration. The oil looses all its properties and can cause damage to engine performance and mileage.hence more pollution and waste of foreign exchange. I feel
PCRA should consider this point.
1.Limiting the number of vehicles (such as cars,scooters,bike etc) from the company itself.
2.Regulate the no of vehicle production.
3.Increase in the number of AC public transport.
4.Industries should follow the international norms.
5.Municipal corporations should focus more on recyle of waste material,and waste to energy conversion.
आप खुद एक NCC कैडेट रह चुके हे आप इस बात को अच्छे से जानते है की ncc से कैडेट में आत्मनिर्भरता अनुशाशन देशभक्ति निडरता और नेतृत्व का विकास होता है मैं खुद ncc में SUO रह चुका हूं अगर जवानी में ही युवाओ में इस तरह का जुनून भर दिया जाये तो वो गलत रास्तो पर नहीं निकलेंगे उनमे राष्ट्र भक्ति की भावना का संचार होगा।
ये काम सिर्फ आप कर सकते है इस देश में।
इसी उम्मीद में आपको अपने मन की ये बात लिख रहा हु

श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी सबसे पहले आपको जय हिंद जय माँ भारती:-
अब मैं आपसे एक विनम्र निवेदन करना चाहता हु राष्ट्रहित में और वो ये है कि मेरी राय है कि भारत देश में आज युवा सबसे बड़ी ताकत है और में चाहता हु की देश के सभी कॉलेज स्टूडेंट्स के लिए सैनिक शिक्षा (NCC) अनिवार्य कर दी जाये जिसे जवाहर लाल नेहरू ने बंद कर दिया था।
जिससे देश के युवाओं में राष्ट्रभक्ति का संचार होगा और युद्ध व मुश्किल हालात में यही युवा देश की सीमाओं की कमान थोड़ी सी ट्रेनिंग से सम्हाल पाएंगे और देश के अंदर के हालात को भी
In my view PCRA goal should be to save environment and dollars spent on petroleum products. For humans they use treadmill to check heart functions. For vehicles similar test rig to check on loaded conditions for both gradient and plain road conditions to be developed as a country. For all commercial and passenger vehicles. Mileage which is critical and crucial for both economy and environment. The engine spare parts and servicing are expensive so general trend is to postpone and waste energy.
