Introduction Bokaro
Bokaro Steel Plant is located in the Bokaro district of Jharkhand. It is the fourth integrated public sector steel plant in India built with Soviet help. It was incorporated as a limited company in 1964. It was later merged with the state-owned Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL). Formerly it was known as Bokaro Steel Limited (BSL). Bokaro Steel Plant is hailed as India's first Swadeshi movement steel plant. Its first blast furnace was started on 2 October 1972. Currently it houses five blast furnaces with a total capacity to produce 4.5 MT of liquid steel. The plant is undergoing a mass modernisation drive after which its output capacity is expected to cross 10 MT. The first shop of Bokaro Steel Plant got the ISO 9001 certification away back in 1994, and its SAIL JYOTI products enjoy a loyal market. The plant's yearly profit stood at 11.2 billion (US$200 million) for the financial year 200304 and has increased every year since then reaching to 84.26 billion INR in the financial year 200708. Bokaro has centralised maintenance departments for large-scale electrical and mechanical maintenance, in addition to shop-based maintenance wings for running repairs and maintenance. These facilities are capable of executing massive capital repairs, supported by the fabrication facilities of the auxiliary shops.

Conclusion
After going through the Initial orientation about the Bokaro Steel Plant we can conclude that Bokaro specialises in making flat Steel products. The plant is one big machine which will only work if all the components are in good condition and working ,otherwise not. The plant also provides employment to large number of local personals and hence increasing the local economy output. By our visits to the plant we learnt a lot of things and finally we can conclude that there are along with various departments which work together for production of various steel products in Bokaro Steel Plant, there are maintenance departments as well. The work of the maintenance department is to make sure that all machines and electrical circuits are functioning well. They are also responsible for the improvement of the machines. In short repair, maintenance & renovation. As we have already mentioned that the plant works only if all it's components work well. It is basically the work of Capital Repairs CR(E) and General Maintenance GM(E) to ensure that.
