A SMALL STEP TOWARDS CONSERVING ELECTRICITY
In response to the task given to me, regarding fans and lights being left unshut when not in use and a small survey to analyse student mentality and behaviour, I had taken the following steps
Informed people in my hostel to gather in the common room for 5 minutes after dinner (on Sunday, 24-08-2104).
Met people who did not turn up to meet in person
Contacted some of them through WhatsApp

I stay in SR14 hostel, it has 120 rooms (approx. 120 students excluding academic associates)
Of the 120 students , I could contact 83 people
37 students could not be reached the 83 students were reached through (41 students through direct interaction,27 students through a meeting and the remaining 15 through WhatsApp)
Based on the interaction with my hostel mates, the basic trend of electricity usage was figured, as represented in the tables below
