The initiative, which will focus on four thematic areas - solar energy and photovoltaics, energy efficiency and conservation, biogas and waste-to-energy, and wind and hybrid energy systems - aims to nurture the next generation of clean-energy innovators and develop a generation capable of identifying challenges and working systematically towards practical solutions. The competition, which will take place across districts and culminate in a state-level championship, is seen as an investment in young people and the future of the energy sector.",
