Formation of ECSThe idea of starting an organised mass movement for fostering energy conservation in the state was first conceived by Er. P. Sivasankaran in March, 1992. He, along with Dr. G. Pavithran and a few other colleagues in Vaidyuthi Bhavan, K.S.E.Board, Thiruvananthapuram worked towards the organization of this movement.
