Knowledge and skill was imparted through lectures and participatory demonstrations. Mostly respondents were found in medium age category, matric passed, agricultural background and medium income group. Mostly respondents adopted human energy conservation practices and lesser change in developing habits for judicious use of electricity was found among family members. Lack of interest was the main issue among respondents for non-adoption of heat energy conservation practices.
