National Energy Conservation Day is observed on which date every year?

Explanation

National Energy Conservation Day is observed every year on December 14. The Press Information Bureau, Ministry of Power backgrounder states that the day has been celebrated on December 14 since 1991, and that the Bureau of Energy Efficiency, under the Ministry of Power, spearheads the celebrations each year. The observance links the calendar date with the larger public message of energy efficiency and conservation. December 14 is therefore the correct date, because the annual observance and the responsible institutional framework both align with the Ministry of Power backgrounder.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) December 5 is incorrect because National Energy Conservation Day is observed every year on December 14.
• (B) December 10 is incorrect because the observance is held every year on December 14.
• (D) December 20 is incorrect because National Energy Conservation Day falls on December 14, not later in the month.

Concept

The Science and Technology syllabus includes energy conservation, energy efficiency and related Indian institutions. National observance days often connect a static date with a ministry, statutory body or policy theme in RAS preparation.
