VISION

To reach, educate, inspire, nurture, enlighten

and energise power engineers/managers
and strive for quality improvement in
human resources for achieving higher
productivity.

MISSION

To build an institution of global excellence

for human resources development of power
sector to share its experience, expertise
and enlighten the managerial personnel of
power utilities.

 Message from
Chairman and Managing Director

India being one of the fastest growing economies, requires enhanced power
infrastructure to sustain the growth rate, as it is the only infrastructure
with an incessant utilization and contributes to the development of people
and society at large. Realizing the same, Ministry of Power, Government of
India is focusing on providing 24x7 Power for All by 2022 by launching
Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) for achieving 100%
rural electrification and feeder separation for ensuring sufficient power to
agriculture. It has also launched Integrated Power Development Scheme
(IPDS) for improved metering, strengthening of the distribution sector
aiming at reduction of AT & C losses and supplying quality power. Further,
the Ministry has introduced Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojana (UDAY) in
order to reduce the debt burden of Discoms and improve their financial
health for better investments in the power sector.
To progress rapidly, the power sector needs to be toned up in all its areas of operation. Apart from making
huge investments in terms of financial and material resources, special focus is needed on nurturing
and developing human resource competencies. Unless right steps are taken to attract, develop, deploy,
motivate and retain the right quality and quantity of human resources, the national goal of achieving
capacity addition and raising the standards of power network on par with that in the developed countries
for enhanced consumer satisfaction will remain an unfulfilled dream.
The implementation of National Training Policy framed for the power sector will play a vital role in human
resource capacity building, in the form of training through refresher programmes. The applicational and
managerial skills are to be regularly updated to cope up with the advancing technologies and be aware
of latest happenings in the ever dynamic power sector. The power utilities need to allocate sufficient
training budgets to develop commensurate training infrastructure, create a business environment aligned
with training policy and monitor the programmes and progress.
Central Institute for Rural Electrification, the training institute of REC is always in the forefront in organising
training programmes suitable to enhance the knowledge and update the skills of the manpower
associated with entire gamut of power sector. It creates a forum for interaction with experts in the field
and knowledge sharing among the employees of power sector utilities. It is also living up to its role on
being empanelled by MOP to organise capacity building courses under their flagship programmes such
as IPDS, DDUGJY, etc.
I am positive that participants would find the value-proposition of our training programmes appealing
and the experience of attending them, truly rewarding, besides utilities realizing their aspirations out of
skill development programmes through enhanced productivity.
Good wishes and warm regards,

Dr. P.V. Ramesh, IAS

Chairman & Managing Director,
Rural Electrification Corporation Ltd.

 Message from
Director (Technical)

The power sector has been progressive and transformational since

implementation of reforms in the country. The increased budget allocation
to DDUGJY and IPDS for forthcoming year will provide much needed impetus
to the sector for achieving rural electrification and strengthening the
distribution. Transform, Energise, Clean India announced by Government
of India highlights the importance given for green energy development in
the country. The above initiatives will boost power demand, its evacuation
and distribution to reach consumers.

Substantial investments are proposed and numerous projects

are underway for implementation in power sector. Lack of
adequate competent manpower to execute these projects and subsequently take care of
O & M is a challenge. These new initiatives, policies, changing power sector landscape needs to prepare
themselves to adapt. Organisations have to inculcate the upgradation of skills, knowledge and change in
the attitude and perception of employees of power sector. It is essential to develop adequate responsive
training infrastructure in line with the changing business needs of power sector.

Trained personnel are the most valuable assets of any organization and so also with power sector
utilities. They play a major role in the progress and customer satisfaction of power utilities by upgrading
themselves with latest know-how. In this context, the efforts made by CIRE in offering the training
courses standout and meet power sector needs. CIRE has been modifying its Calendar by incorporating
the training programmes which are in demand and will be useful to power sector fraternity.

Any suggestions for improvement and addition of new programmes, in the Calendar are most welcome.

 From the desk of
Additional Director

Power Sector is a happening sector and focused to provide

quality and reliable power supply extending its networks to the
nook and corner of the nation. The power companies need to
generate, transmit and distribute the power at an affordable
cost by adopting innovative methods, latest technologies and
improving their efficiencies. These can be achieved by needful
investment for replacing the obsolete equipment with latest
technology products and raising the capabilities of technical,
managerial and operational personnel.

The management in the power sector needs to appreciate

the human resources as the precious assets above physical
one, provide opportunities for updating their skill and knowledge on year on year
basis by deputing to attend training programmes regularly. This will not only motivate
the personnel, but will also enable exchange of ideas, thoughts and actions among the
participants of the programmes and also improve the performance of the power utilities
for delivery of services.

CIRE recognized widely as a pioneering training institute in the power sector and has
been designing its own long term and short term training programmes for national level
power sector personnel. CIRE modifying its training programmes suitably to meet the
requirements of the sector from time to time. CIRE has brought its Calendar for 2017-18
and earnestly hoped that power utilities would be making best use of these programmes
by extending their support in capacity building of their personnel.
