The awards were distributed by Mr Nainar Nagenthran, Honorable

Speaking on the occasion, Mr Nainar Nagenthran congratulated CII for

in the state.
Mr K Gnanadesikan, IAS, Chairman, Tamil Nadu Electricity Board
in his address said that TNEB has a vested interest in encouraging
energy conservation in the state.
He said a saving of 10% energy by the industrial sector would amount
to a saving of 1200 million units per year for the state. He added
that TNEB would continue to work with CII on the energy conservation
activities.
Mr T Kannan, Chairman, CII (SR) during his address highlighted
several initiatives of CII (SR). He said that CII recently submitted
suggestions to TNERC not to go ahead with the proposed hike in power
tariff. He added that TNEB should initiate cost reduction, so as to

Mr K Vasudevan, Chairman, Energy Summit 2002 and Director, Alstom
