As part
of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and on popular demand by the Residents
Welfare Associations (RWA’s) and other stakeholders, BSES has re-launched its hugely
successful initiative to train the neighbourhood electricians, particularly
those nominated by the RWA’s.
“The very
fact that BSES has been receiving many requests from RWA’s and other
stakeholders, urging it to re- launch
the electrician training program, shows the effectiveness and success of the
programs conducted earlier” said a BSES official. “To make the program even a
bigger success than the previous time, BSES has also started proactively sending
letters to RWA’s, requesting them to nominate their colony electricians. Those
interested can also contact the Customer Care Officers at all the 33 Division
offices” added the official.
The first
batch of the program titled “Training on Essentials of Internal Wiring and
Meters” launched in November 2005, saw around 800 electricians getting trained
over a four months period. The list of electricians trained earlier can be
accessed on BSES’ website www.bsesdelhi.com.
The
unique three-hour interactive session, conducted in small batches is led by
experts – both from BSES and the Industry. The training session includes an
exhaustive power point presentation that seeks to give a holistic training to
educate and train the neighbourhood electricians on various issues relating to
internal house wiring, prevention of short circuits and electrical fires,
importance of installing Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCB’s), various
functions, unique faulty wiring detection feature of electronic meters and
sharing of the best industry practices. In addition, the training session will
also serve as a refresher course for those trained earlier and share their
field-level real-life experiences with those attending the program for the first
time.
According
to a BSES spokesperson “BSES has been proactively educating its customers though
Synergy – its bi-monthly / bi-lingual newsletter and through neighbourhood
electrician trainings about the perils of faulty Internal Housing Wiring, which
besides being a safety hazard can also play havoc with ones electricity
consumption. The success of these measures can be gauged by the fact the number
of cases of faulty house wiring in BSES’ licensed area has decreased sharply
from 1.6% in January 2006 to about 0.05% in January 2007.”
BSES, Delhi’s premier power
distribution company, is committed to ensuring quality and reliable electricity
supply to all its consumers.
