Tata Power Club Enerji introduces new online module on disaster management

The module is hosted on the Club Enerji website - www.clubenerji.com and users would simply need to register to access to it.

The objective of the initiative is to reach out to a larger audience and impact a larger group of IT skilled children with a vision to transform by adopting a holistic and robust approach towards conservation.

This year the company has added content which focuses on disaster management. The content contains topics on understanding climate change, various tips on disaster management and do it yourself disaster management kit tutorials.

India has been traditionally vulnerable to natural disasters on account of its unique geo-climatic conditions. About 60 per cent of the landmass is prone to earthquakes, over 40 million hectares is prone to floods, about 8 per cent of the total area is prone to cyclones and 68 per cent of the area is susceptible to drought.

Natural calamities such as the Bhuj earthquake accounted for 13,805 deaths, the super cyclone in Orissa accounted for 9885 deaths.

Each year disasters also account for loss of thousands of crores in terms of social and community assets. Realising the impact of such disasters, Club Enerji devised a module which caters towards spreading awareness on disaster management.

Speaking on this initiative, Anil Sardana, MD and CEO, Tata Power, said, “At Tata Power, we are determined to strengthen our Club Enerji programme and reach out to a global audience to encourage the IT skilled children of today to become responsible citizens of tomorrow. The latest online module on disaster management is aimed at making the future generation realise the importance of a sustainable world, and we are committed to widen the reach of the programme to help and sensitize an even larger portion of people in India and abroad.”

With a view to provide a more holistic content to children, the module also includes content on  'creating responsible citizens' ,' tips for energy and resource conservation' , 'tracking energy usage ' and a quiz game.

Since its inception, the online module of Club Enerji has reached international geographies like the USA, UK, Philippines, UAE, and South Africa, while also creating a positive impact in domestic cities like Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, and Chennai.

The online module is divided into four levels with a focus on energy conservation; fuel and water conservation; waste management and afforestation; and conservation of civic and moral values respectively.

The module uses a mix of text, infographics, interactive video graphics, and video tutorials to educate the members. The online interactive game will also help in ensuring higher levels of engagement and recall.
