We are running out of time!

The IPCC report affirms that temperature rise beyond 1.5 degree celsius will start irreversible climate change. The 1.5 degree celsius is the most important number for every human being. It is the number that all climate scientists are keeping an eye on. Did you know how much time is left before global warming touches the 1.5 degree celsius limit?

Activities for Creating Energy Swaraj Movement

Energy Swaraj Yatra

The yatra is planned across the country starting from November 2020 until December 2030, nearly 11 years long, to create Energy Swaraj as a public movement.

Energy Literacy Training

To fulfil the energy requirement, humans have exploited Earth’s resources which in turn has led to climate change! Want to know how much energy we use & how one can adopt Solar Energy & save our Mother Earth - Become Energy literate & do your part!

Energy Swaraj Clubs

Energy Swaraj Clubs are recognized to be very important action nodes of the Energy Swaraj Movement and they are established to ignite public action in their locality.

Be a part of the Energy Swaraj Movement, and contribute to save life on planet Earth!

Every user of energy needs to take part in climate corrective action, It means every individual, institution, and industry needs to take part. In what way would you like to be part of the movement?

    REC (Reduce Electricity Consumption)

    Join the "Shart Lagao Bijli Bachao Challenge!" by Energy Swaraj Foundation – a simple way for everyone to save electricity, the environment, and money. For three months, aim to reduce your electricity use and see the impact month by month, like comparing April 2023 with April 2022. 

    Your challenge is to beat your own record for three months this year compared to the same period last year, e.g., if you save in May, June, and July 2023, we'll compare it to the bills from May, June, and July 2022. Each unit of electricity saved equals 1 kg of CO2 emissions. Certificates and rewards await. Learn more at
