Responding to the demand of the RWA’s and other stakeholders, BSES has initiated “Training on Essentials of House Wiring” for neighborhood electricians at various places across its licensed area. The initiative aims to train the neighborhood electricians, particularly those nominated by RWAs. The program launched some time ago, has so far trained over 500 electricians.

BSES began the programme first by training its employees and then by extending it to electricians employed by certified and licensed contractors in its licensed area. Further to make the program more participative, and also in response to requests from RWAs, BSES last fortnight sent letters to all the RWA’s requesting them to nominate neighborhood electricians for attending the free training sessions.

The three-hour interactive program is conducted in small batches and is led by a team of experts - both from BSES and outside. The training session includes an exhaustive power point presentation that seeks to give a holistic training to educate and train the neighborhood electricians on various issues relating to internal house wiring and various functions of the meters.
