The 14th of November is celebrated as National Energy Conservation Day. Apart from spreading awareness, this day also showcases the achievements of the nation in energy efficiency and conservation measures. As we discuss about energy conservation, let’s turn our heads towards a small village in Manipur. Hengbung village is situated in a hilly terrain that is frequently battered by strong winds and landslide, and yet has managed to earn its own recognition. Hengbung is the first Indian village to have a project that operates a hydropower storage system fitted with solar-powered pumps.
