 Industrial Visit to Power Grid   Corporation of   India
 (400/220kV Station)

By: Utkarsh

Hello everyone, today I will be sharing my experience as Industrial visit to PGCIL, Kursi road, Barabanki, Lucknow.

 



Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID) or PGCIL is schedule ‘A’, ‘Maharatna’ Public Sector Enterprise of Govt. of India which was incorporated on October 23, 1989 under the company act of 1956.

I along with thirty others combined from first, second and third year of different branches who are volunteers in Tech Fusion Club at Shri Ramswaroop Memorial University, Barabanki, Lucknow visited there along with our favourite mentor Er. Abhishek Kumar Saxena sir, Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical Communication Engineering. 

Though we were give home-work of finding and exploring what are PSUs, Navaratna and Maharatna companies but I guess no one showed interest in exploring about it seriously and thus many were blank when these things were being discussed by the chief and other people present in the grid. I knew about it as I had discussed and had asked my father about what are these and he had given me a rough idea about it.

Let me help you to understand above mentioned terms in this article itself.

 


   Navratna companies are a group of companies in the Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) that have enhanced financial autonomy. The government of India initially awarded the Navratna Status to nine public sector undertakings (PSUs) in 1997.

PSU are abbreviated as Public Sector Undertakings in India and are government owned establishments, which are established and owned by the Government of India or State Governments. Some PSUs in India are listed below:

o   Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL)

o   Container Corporation of India (CONCOR)

o   Engineers India Limited (EIL)

o   Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)

o   Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL)

o   National Aluminium Company (NALCO)

o   National Buildings Construction Company (NBCC) 


  In the year 2009, the government of India decided to establish Maharatna status for the Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs). There are certain conditions for being a Maharatna PSU. The Maharatna status gives more autonomy and authority to a company than the other categories such as Navratna or Miniratna. Maharatna CPSEs can invest from INR 1000 crore to INR 5000 crore. PSUs with Maharatna status can invest 15% of their net worth in a project without prior permission from the Government of India.

There are total 10 Maharatna companies in India:

1.    NTPC

2.    ONGC

3.    SAIL

4.    BHEL

5.    IOCL

6.    HPCL

7.    CIL

8.    GAIL

9.    BPCL

10.           PGCIL (POWERGRID)

There we first visited the conference room where we were divided into 2 groups, one of 15 and other of 16 members respectively. By the time first group explored the equipment yard, we took the tour of control room. Let me share some pictures and videos of the control room with you all.

Realizing the Penfest By: Utkarsh Hello everyone, today I will be expressing my thoughts on the Penfest which happens in or before farewell of class X or class XII. So for those, who did not knew what is it, I would like to define it for them. Penfest or Pen-festival is an event which is celebrated mainly by the classmates/ batch-mates of a class mainly before and often after board examinations as after those loaded exams, generally no one comes to school and everyone awaits for their good, better or best results for which they would be preparing since the starting of the session. On this day, all of them express their thoughts about an individual in their group on their dress, particularly 'white shirt'. This event ends in variety of ways, ranging from black and white, blue-black or sometimes VIBGYOR emotional memories historified on a peace of cloth which will be kept safely by them in their mystery boxes. Today, we had various of events, particularly, you can s
