Minister of state for petroleum and natural gas, Dharamendra Pradhan inaugurated the month long awareness drive on January 16 organised by PCRA and other Oil & Gas PSUs emphasising on the need for self-sufficiency in the oil and gas sector.

Pan India campaigns like Sit & Draw and Slogan Competition apart from Cyclothon, Walkathon are being organised at all work-centres of ONGC to actively engage employees.
