Aims to co-create, develop and cater to the training and development needs of Power Sector personnel
In line with its vision to create a large reservoir of qualified and trained manpower in the power distribution sector, Tata Power Delhi Distribution, a pioneering power distribution utility, supplying electricity to a populace of over 7 million in North Delhi, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BlocKnots, a leader in technology deployment, to conduct capacity building trainings in the power distribution sector. This partnership will address the training needs of the power distribution personnel, bringing together the expertise and resources of two industry leaders for the overall benefit of the sector. It will also cater to reforms in India, Bangladesh and abroad.
The MoU was signed by Praveen Agrawal, chief, HR and IR, Tata Power-DDL and Tamim Hasan, chairman, BlocKnots.
Commenting on the association, Mr Agrawal said, “The technological landscape is changing at a rapid pace all across the world. After having successfully implemented various Smart Grid technologies, Tata Power-DDL has been handholding distribution utilities in India and across the world for scripting their own success stories by imparting capacity building trainings through experience sharing and showcasing our best practices and case studies. This collaboration with BlocKnots is yet another step in this direction for imparting relevant training to the power sector professionals in the international domain and hope for a mutually enriching association.”
Speaking about the collaboration, Mr Hasan said, “Bangladesh is a fast-growing country and the government is focussed at development across all sectors. This agreement will help us to implement latest technology related to power sector along with international level training to the sector professionals for better understanding of the technology and its implementation. We thank Tata Power Delhi Distribution for this agreement and hope to bring a positive change through this association.”
The combined programmes, including customised onsite programmes and training programmes under the partnership, will be designed in accordance with new and emerging technologies and best practices for enhancing knowledge competency. Tata Power-DDL by virtue of its long experience in the distribution sector will help to co-create, develop and impart specialised courses and BlocKnots will act as the technology partner.
