TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

SJVN regards human resources as strategic assets in consolidating its current business and achieving growth objectives. Right from inception, the organization has emphasised motivation, development, harmony and equity in its HR policies and practices basis for maximizing individual and collective contribution. SJVNL believes that management education and technical training are crucial inputs for improving the efficiency and competence of all the employees, which directly increase the organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Hence, the need of the hour is to follow appropriate training strategies, which would be capable of taking care of the immediate requirements as well as help in shaping the Human Resources to meet the challenges of future. As per National Training Policy the main objective of electricity industry is to achieve customer satisfaction through generation of electricity of the right quality and quantity at an affordable cost and supply to the consumers efficiently whenever and wherever required. Trained manpower is required at every stage of the above mentioned tasks. 

These skills are to be regularly updated to cope with the ever progressing and rapidly advancing technologies being introduced in the power sector where the speed of obsolescence often overtakes the pace of particular skill. With a view to enhance / develop competencies of our employees the need is felt to step up training and human resource development, create an orientation of power sector personnel and stake holders towards the urgency and the need for reforms and energy conservation as well as provide a standing joint forum for coordination of training related matters in the power sector.
