INTRODUCTION

Global Energy Consumption• 16% from renewable• 10% from biomass• 3.4% from hydroelectricity• 2.8% from new renewable (small hydro,

modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels)

Renewable electricity generation accounts for 19%• 16% from hydroelectricity• 3% from new renewable

India's power market is the fifth largest in the world The share of Renewable Energy sector 10.63% of total generation capacity in India

Suzlon Group is the leading wind turbine manufacturer with presence in 32 countries. It is India's No. 1 wind energy company. Conceived in 1995 with just 20 people, Suzlon is now a leading wind power company .

Fully integrated supply chain with manufacturing facilities in three continents. Market leader in Asia, Suzlon Market Share (Combined with Repower) is 6.9% thereby making Suzlon one of the leading wind turbine manufacturing groups in the world. Recently Suzlon launched a cause based advertising campaign - PALS or the Pure Air Lovers Society. A campaign that strives to create a self-sustaining community of like-minded people who love pure air, hate pollution, are willing to take steps in their lives and make decisions that will reduce pollution and make a positive contribution towards mitigating the issue.

CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION Awareness for the PALS campaign in youth is very low hence it is necessary to target the youth through right channel of communication.

Most of the respondents perceived Suzlon as company in business of Wind power generation rather than manufacturing of Wind mills and turbines.

Respondents perceived solar energy as the largest source of energy generation while wind energy generation is still in the nascent stage when it comes to awareness among the respondents. Hence more initiative should be taken to educate people about advantages of wind energy generation.

Behavioral habits switching of the light, fans & AC when not in use gained the maximum importance followed by switching off appliances. Whereas cycling to work instead of vehicle received least importance followed by usage of carpool facility. Suzlon can devise an effective campaign like NO PRIVATE VEHICLE DAY, SHARE RIDE AND SAVE PLANET to increase the importance of these parameters.

It is very important to position PALS campaign on the green habits which are grouped together by factor analysis for better effectiveness and efficiency.

Hence the PALS campaign can be positioned on following components-

Reduce Pollution- (Component 5) To do regular PUC check Using carpool facilities

My Green Planet- (Component 1) Planting and nurturing trees Spreading awareness, educating people about air

pollution and its effects Using eco-friendly products
