How to handle Petrol\Diesel Crisis forever
1) Many schools are running all 6 days. This can be reduced to 5 days. This one day reduction will save lots of petrol and diesel. This helps boost economy(import is reduced). Many state and central schools are running on saturday also. Five days is standard in many developed country.
2)Many SEZ/Schools/IT campus have their own buses and most of the time its not fully loaded. This should be made mandatory to share the buses by all SEZ/schools if located in same route instead having multiple buses for the same route from different SEZs/Schools.
5)Increase the number of fast train and promote the people to travel in train rather in flight(flights are most polluting vehicle). This reduces the load on domestic flights. more

It is important to reduce our dependence on Petrol/Diesel. The alternative is to use electric mobility, let it be electric cars or trains. The china is developing the smart grids and specifically promoting EV technology forecasting level of importing oil to match growth of automotive industry. We also should adapt the strategy where we promote EV technology. This will also increase demand on electricity generation which need to be catered through alternative energy sources such as solar or wind energy. Regarding protecting against any oil price shocks, India needs to increase strategic petroleum reserves. From the desktop research I understand the current capacity is 37 million barrels, which can cater for 2 weeks of fuel. There has to be a plan to increase this reserve based on statistical data of oil price fluctuation and demand forecast due to growth. more

I would suggest that Indian Railways should electrify all the routes immediately on on top most priority so that Nation can save on precious foreign currency to import diesel. This will require lot of funds however I am sure these funds can be diverted from elsewhere. more

I agree with Prabhakarj lakshmi hi, as a head of the educational institution, we had only 5 days a week, this makes students more alert, relaxed and prepared for the week, of course transport of the school can be used for some other activities on holidays, I know some good schools work only. Four days and give field work on other days, even in us govt offices few work only four days for more hours, it gives them edge to take care of family work too, it must be quality of work along with task completion, time and productivity, if every hour is utilized properly, then no need to worry for how many days we work, more
