The then Prime Minister of India, Late Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru arrivingto inaugurate the Silver Jubilee Session of the Central Board of Irrigation& Power in 1952

Inauguration of India Water Week 2012 by Hon’ble Prime Minister ofIndia Dr. Manmohan Singh on 10th April 2012 at Vigan Bhawan, NewDelhi.

MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARYCentral Board of Irrigation and Power, set up by the Government of India in the pre independence era,has been rendering dedicated services to the professional organizations, engineers and individuals inthe country related to Power, Irrigation and Renewable Energy Sectors. CBIP, with its main objective todisseminate technical knowledge, has been organizing training programmes for the last more than 80years since its inception and has always been taking strides in providing meaningful training to the powersector personnel.The Indian power sector headed record capacity addition during the 11th plan and the total generatinginstalled capacity stood at around 2,00,000 MW by the end of the plan. To cater the further shortage ofgrowing power demand of the country, Govt. of India has taken initiative of adding 123900 MW during the12th plan. To cope up with this key initiative, it is evident that additional 400000 trained manpower will berequired. It is therefore, the need of the day that reputed institutes of the country also supplement the

above efforts of the Govt. of India for the human resources development of Power Sector. In view of this, CBIP has taken uptraining as a new thrust area to provide groomed manpower for meeting the requirements of power sector. Starting of 52 weeksPost Graduate Diploma Course in Thermal Power Plant Engineering in September 2011 and 26 weeks Post Graduate DiplomaCourse in Transmission & Distribution are the first few links of this process chain.As CBIP has started placement session for these engineer trainees who have already undergone more than eight monthsrigorous training (both theoretical & on-job practical) at CBIP, I extend my cordial invitation to all the power utilities of India PowerSector to come to our institute and take advantage of this initiative of CBIP by considering these trained engineers for suitableplacement in their organization.

V.K. Kanjlia,Secretary

Central Board of Irrigation & Power

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTORCommensurate with the huge capacity addition during 12th and 13th plan, there is a necessity of adequatetrained man power for design, engineering, manufacturing, erection and commissioning as well as for O&Mof power plants. With an aim to supplement the Indian Power Sector with groomed manpower, CBIP hastaken stride to launch its 1st “52 weeks Post Graduate Diploma Course in Thermal Power Plant Engineering”.The fresh engineers of this batch have already acquired sufficient competency level during their eightmonths rigorous training in key areas of Thermal Power Plants and after completion of the entire course willbe competent to take over the charge of Operation & Maintenance of Power station. Placing these engineersin any power utilities /organizations will not only be a win-win strategy for all including the employer, thetrained engineers and CBIP, but it will also be a great contribution to the Indian Power Sector.I would heartily welcome all the stake holders and the industries to our campus for placement of our trained student engineers.
