Renewable energy is the best and economical source of energy. It is almost pollution free. It is right kind of choice for the livable growth of mankind. Nonrenewable sources of energy are continuously decreasing and they are main cause of pollution. To bridge the gap between demand-supply we have to go for renewable sources of energy. Government has taken a number of initiatives to promote renewable sources of energy. In this paper Authors have conducted energy audit in hostel and outside premises of Graphic Era Hill University Bhimtal Campus.
