CHAPTER-I

INTRODUCTION
 INTRODUCTION
Industrial progress of a country depends on its committed labour force. In this regard
the importance of labour welfare was recognized as early as 1931, when the Royal
commission on Labour stated that the benefits which go under this nomenclature are of great
importance to the worker who is unable to secure by himself. The schemes of labour welfare
may be regarded as “a wise investment” which should and usually does bring a profitable
return in the form of greater efficiency.

The worker should at least have the means and facilities to keep himself in a state of
health and efficiency. This is primarily a question of adequate nutrition and suitable housing
conditions. The working condition should be such as to safeguard his health and protect him
against occupational hazards.

The work place should provide reasonable amenities for his essential needs. The
worker should also be equipped with the necessary technical training and a certain level of
general education.

MEANING

The employee investigation committee preferred to include under employee welfare.

“Anything done for the intellectual, physical, moral and economic betterment of the workers,
whether by employers by government or by other agencies, over and above what is laid down
by law or what is normally expected for the contractual benefits for which workers may have
bargained.”

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

“Employee Welfare is defined as the efforts to make worth living for work men”. It
suggests the measures which promote “The physical, psychological & general well being of
the working population”

“Employee/Labor Welfare as “such services, facilities and amenities as adequate

canteens, rest rooms, recreation facilities& travel facilities for travel to and from work, and
for the accommodation of workers employed at a distance from their houses, and such other
services, amenities and facilities as contribute to improve the conditions under which workers
are employed”

NEED FOR THE STUDY

The need for labour welfare arises from the very nature of the industrial system,
which is characterized by two basic factors, one, the conditions under which work is carried
on are not congenial for health and second, when a labourer join an industry, has to work in
an entirely strange atmosphere, which creates problems of adjustment. One author calls these
two factors “the long arm of the job”, and “the social invasion of the factory”.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The present study confined to the Employee Welfare in of Kothagudem Thermal Power
Station. The study also covered the procedure of Employee Welfare measures implemented in
the company and the opinions of employees regarding the Employee Welfare measures
implemented by the company.

THEORETICAL FRAME WORK
&
DATA ANALYSIS AND
INTERPRETATION
 INDUSTRY PROFILE

The electric power industry provides the production and delivery of electric energy,
often known as power, or electricity, in sufficient quantities to areas that need electricity
through a grid connection. The grid distributes electrical energy to customers. Electric power
is generated by central power stations or by distributed generation.
Many households and businesses need access to electricity, especially in developed
nations, the demand being scarcer in developing nations. Demand for electricity is derived
from the requirement for electricity in order to operate domestic appliances, office
equipment, industrial machinery and provide sufficient energy for both domestic and
commercial lighting, heating, cooking and industrial processes. Because of this aspect of the
industry, it is viewed as a public utility as infrastructure.

Energy is required for everything that we do, and it is the next important thing apart
from the food upon which the lives of nations depend. Lack of power could cause economies
to cripple. The flourishing power generation industry is considered to be a sign of prosperity
for any nation.

Energy comes in various forms but electrical energy is the most convenient form of
energy since it can be transported with ease, generated in a number of different ways, and can
be converted into mechanical work or heat energy as and when required. In this article we
will learn about a few of the most commonly used methods of generating electrical energy.
THE POWER PLANT

Power or energy is generated in a power plant which is the place where power is
generated from a given source. Actually the term “generated” in the previous sentence is a
misnomer since energy cannot be created or destroyed but merely changed from one form to
the other. More correctly, a power plant can be said to be a place where electrical energy is
obtained by converting some other form of energy. The type of energy converted depends on
what type of power plant is being considered.

In the industrial use of the word, the term power plant also refers to any arrangement
where power is generated. For example the main engine of a ship or an airplane for that
matter.

TYPES OF ENERGY SOURCES

Oil is the world’s favorite energy source which comprises 38% to the total energy
production closely followed by coal (26%) and gas (23%). Both nuclear and hydroelectric
energy sources contribute equally at 6% each with the remaining 1% coming from solar,
wind, wood, wave, tidal, and geothermal sources. The supply of oil has both geopolitical and
strategic implications for the entire world. It is geopolitical because the large known oil
reserves are in the Middle East which is a region considered to be anti-American.

It was the hidden agenda in the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the toppling of a legitimate
or some say illegitimate, presidency of Saddam Hussein. Iraq has the 2 nd largest known oil
reserves in the world after Saudi Arabia.

Electricity diagram
 Oil was used once before as a political weapon by Arab countries when the cartel of
OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) was still strong then. The discovery
of new and large oil fields in countries which are not members reduced OPEC’s political and
economic clout on the world stage. It is also strategic militarily because it is one of the war
materials a country needs to wage and win wars. Oil, like copper and aluminum, is a strategic
raw material and the U.S. imports a lot of oil not for its consumption but for stockpiling in
underground salt mines in Utah and Nevada. These reserves form its strategic planning to
ensure supplies of critical materials in wartime. The “Strategic Petroleum Reserve” is filled
up to 700 million barrels which is equal to about a month’s energy consumption by the U.S.
There has been a frantic search for oil by drilling in such pristine areas as Alaska, around the
Great Lakes area and continental shelf but it carries the risk of degrading the ecosystem and
the environment.

Energy consumption graph

Coal consumption has been increasing for the past years because of the fantastic price
increases of oil in world markets. Coal is relatively cheaper compared to all other energy
sources and new carbon-emission technologies allowed cleaner burning. Another reason for
its comeback is its availability in the U.S. mainland and therefore it is less vulnerable to
supply disruptions than oil which is mainly imported from other countries.

Water energy
 Gas is a cleaner fuel compared to either oil or coal but has its own drawbacks. One is
the safe transport of gas since it is very flammable or combustible. This energy source is
cooled and pressurized to make it into liquid form for easier and safer transport. The correct
term for it is liquefied natural gas (LNG) or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Nuclear energy

Nuclear power is a significant energy source in some countries like Germany and
France. Its critics always cite safety concerns because of what happened at the Chernobyl
reactor. The meltdown and resulting explosion spewed clouds of radioactive material into
much of Europe and is the leading cause of birth defects due to genetic mutations. There is a
new nuclear reactor technology that uses ceramics for its core. Ceramics can prevent
meltdowns because it has a very high tolerance for extreme heat.

Hydroelectric power energy

Hydroelectric power is the alternative energy chosen by some countries who do not
want nuclear plants due to safety concerns. This is a viable alternative when a country has
sufficient water supplies. The largest dam for years is the Hoover Dam in the U.S. between
the borders of Arizona and Nevada. Today, that distinction now belongs to the Three Gorges
Dam in mainland China. When it becomes operational in 2011, it will be the largest
hydroelectric power station in the world producing some 22,500 megawatts. The argument
against building dams to produce electricity is dislocation of the people living nearby and the
resulting changes to the environment.
 The dam made many historical monuments, archaeological sites and cultural villages
now underwater and gone forever. This Chinese dam spans the Yangtze River in the Hubei
province and is the largest civil works project since the construction of the Great Wall. A
reason for building this giant dam is flood control along the entire Yangtze River. Estimated
total cost of this project is US$25 billion when completed and it needs to generate about
1,000 terawatts in 10 years for its construction costs to be fully recovered. China has a 14-
facility hydropower long-term development plan in place until 2020.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF POWER PLANTS

Steam power plants use fuels such as petroleum, coal, or biomass are burned to heat
water to create steam, the pressure of the steam spins a turbine turning the copper wire inside
the generator.

Geothermal power plants are steam power plants that tap into steam released from the
earth. Once used the water is returned to the ground. Gas power plants use fuels that are
burned to create hot gases to spin the turbine.

Nuclear power plants nuclear generators use nuclear fission to turn water into steam.
This drives the steam turbine, which spins a generator to produce power. A pound of highly
enriched uranium can power a nuclear submarine or nuclear aircraft carrier is equal to
something on the order of a million gallons of gasoline.

Wind power plants use the wind to push against the turbine blades, spinning the
copper wires inside the generator to create an electric current.

Hydroelectric dams use falling (or flowing) water to spin the turbine blades. Coal
plants burn coal to drive a steam engine. Coal is plentiful, but the collateral damage is
extreme.
Fossil fuel power plants burn oil to drive a steam engine. Burning fossil fuels is increasingly
expensive, and highly polluting. Oil supplies will run very thin in the coming decades.
PERFORMANCE

The capital-intensive power industry suffered tremendous losses due to the economic
recession. Industry analysts have revealed that there was a staggering 50% decline in the
number, value and capacity of new projects between the beginning of the credit crunch in Q3
2008 and Q3 2009. There is a silver lining though, as analysts believe figures for Q3 2009
have shown signs of positive growth.

Going forward, it is believed the hotspots of activity will primarily be in India, China
and the UK. As well as new builds, there are also significant opportunities for synergies
across the global energy supply chain with industry and governments keen to invest in and
adopt new technologies. In order to best capitalize on these new opportunities, major
contractors and companies across the energy supply chain have begun to work together more
closely, to streamline their operating and procurement procedures.

India has the fifth largest electricity generation capacity in the world. The total
installed capacity of India is ~150,000 MW, of which majority of generation, transmission
and distribution capabilities with either public sector companies or with State Electricity
Boards (SEBs). Only ~15% capacity is from the private sector, though this is now beginning
to increase. Market research suggests ~65% of India’s total installed capacity is contributed
by thermal power with the Western and Southern regions each accounting for ~30%. Due to
unbalanced growth and rural-urban disparity, only ~40% of rural household have access to
electricity versus ~80% of urban households. Key players include National Thermal Power
Corporation Limited, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited, North Eastern Electric
Power Corporation Limited, Power Grid Corporation of India and Tata Power.

GROWTH POTENTIAL

The Indian power sector is experiencing a large demand-supply gap. At present, the
energy shortage in the India is ~10% but there are States where the energy shortage is as high
as 25%. To combat this, over 80,000 MW of new generation capacity is planned in the next
five years. A corresponding investment is required in Transmission and Distribution
networks.
 The Indian Ministry of Power has set a goal, “Mission 2012: Power for all” and
released a comprehensive sector development blueprint. The main objectives, in addition to
providing 100% access to power, are to provide sufficient power to achieve targeted GDP
growth rate of 8%, provide reliable and good quality power and to enhance commercial
viability.

A huge capital investment of about US$ 200 billion is required to meet Mission 2012
targets. This has welcomed numerous global companies to establish their operations in India
under the famous PPP (public-private partnership) programs. Additional massive capital
investment is further required over the subsequent years with the country’s power requisite
expected to touch 800,000 MW by 2031-32.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

Due to the influx of foreign companies, and the ramping up of operations by domestic
companies, the industry is experiencing a hiring spike. New graduates would be advised to
seek an initial position in one of the larger companies as there will be specific training
courses and more opportunities for someone starting out. Given the breadth of the power
industry, it is possible to work with a range of different technologies and disciplines
depending upon your preferences.

All of the large power-generation companies are looking for graduates and
apprentices in a range of disciplines. Degrees in engineering (mechanical, electrical or civil),
science (physics, chemistry or mathematics) and even IT or business studies are required. In
addition, work experience is a big advantage.

POWER INDUSTRY IN INDIA

The critical role played by the power industry in the economic progress of a country
has to be emphasized. A self sufficient power industry is vital for a nation to achieve
economic stability.
INDIAN POWER INDUSTRY

Before Independence

The British controlled the Indian power industry firmly before Independence. The
then legal and policy framework was conducive to private ownership, with not much
regulation with regard to operational safety.

POST INDEPENDENCE

Immediately after Independence, the country was faced with capacity restraint. India
adopted a socialist structure for economic growth and all the major industries were controlled
by public sector enterprises. By 1970's India had nationalized most of its energy assets, due to
its commitment to social goals. By the late 1980's the Indian economy felt the strain of the
socialist agenda followed since independence. Faced with a serious deterioration in public
finance and balance of payment crisis, the Union government as part of its policy of
economic liberalization allowed greater investment by private sector in the power industry.

POWER
Constitutional Position

Power as a matter of legislative and executive competence, falls in the Concurrent

List (List III of the Seventh Schedule to the Constitution of India).Both the Parliament and
state legislatures have the rights to pass laws on the matter and any law passed by the
Parliament overrides the existing state laws unless.

 The existing law is conserved or saved from such a repeal or

 A law passed by the state legislature receives acknowledgment from the President of
India.

POST LIBERALIZATION

Understanding the critical part played by the power industry, the Union government
passed several laws and restructured the Power Industry to gear it up to meet the challenges
posed to the Indian economy post Liberalization.
Electricity Bill 2001

Learning from the experience gained through various reform initiatives, the Indian
government passed the Electricity Bill 2001.The Bill seeks to

 Consolidate and rationalize existing laws.

 To address the issues of developing industry including regulation, power trading, non
discriminatory open access, choice of dispensing with vertically integrated state
enterprises and encouraging private enterprise.

Energy Conservation Act 2001

The Act was enacted by the Indian government to facilitate stringent steps to ensure
the efficient use of energy and its conservation. A Bureau of Energy Efficiency was set up to
monitor and regulate the Power Industry according to the provisions of the act.

NON RENEWABLE ENERGY

FOSSIL FUELS

The Industrial Revolution in Europe in the 19th century forced human's to seek
alternative sources of fuel to cater to the increasing demand. Focus was shifted to fossil fuels
as an alternate source of energy.

Fossil fuels were formed millions of years ago. They are nothing but fossilized
organic remains that after millions of years has been converted into oil, gas and coal. Because
this process takes a long time, they are known as non renewable.

COAL
It is the most easily available fossil fuel in the world. It is mostly carbon and is used
as a combustion fuel, especially after the Industrial Revolution. Coal can further be divided
into lignite, bituminous and anthracite. Lignite and Bituminous have lesser percentage of
carbon and therefore burn faster. They are not environmentally friendly, Whereas Anthracite
has about 98% carbon and therefore burns slowly and is more environmentally friendly. Coal
can be found in both underground mines and open mines.

Though Petroleum gained prominence through the 20th century, coal still continues to
be the most used raw material for power generation.
Oil and Gas

Oil and Gas is mostly found in underground rocks. Millions of years ago when plants
and animals died, they got buried in layers of mud and sand. The earth's crust changed its
shape and put immense pressure and heat on the dead plants and animals. Over a period of
time, the energy in those plants and animals changed into hydrocarbon liquids and gases.
They then turned into chemicals called hydrocarbons .Most of the hydrocarbons is found
under the sea bed. Oil has a disastrous effect on the environment and many scientists believe
the main reason for global warming.

Natural gas is usually found near a source of oil. It is a mixture of light hydrocarbons.
It is lighter than air and is odorless. It is therefore mixed with a chemical that gives it a strong
our and thereby easy to detect in case of a leak. It is the cleanest burning fossil fuel.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

Because of the environmentally disastrous effect of non renewable energy, an

alternate source of energy which would not pollute the environment and which can also be
renewed was tapped. They are known as renewable energy. The various types of renewable
energy are

SOLAR ENERGY

It is the most easily available renewable resource. After the oil shock in 1970's many
countries conducted research work to tap solar energy. It is believed in the next few years
millions of consumers across the world would switch to solar energy. In India the Indian
Renewable Energy Development Agency and the Ministry of Non Conventional Energy
Sources are devising strategies to encourage the usage of solar energy.

Solar energy can be used for cooking, heating, drying, distillation, electricity, cooling,
refrigeration, cold storage etc.

HYDEL ENERGY
 Energy available in fast flowing water can be used to generate electricity. Waves
occur due to the interface of the wind with surface of sea and represent a transfer of energy.
This energy can be tapped for commercial purpose.

HYDRO POWER

It is the one of the best, cheapest and cleanest source of power, though large dams
could have environmental and social repercussions. In view of these problems associated
with larger dams, experts have advocated the construction of smaller dams. New
environmental laws to safeguard the planet from the effects of global warming have made
smaller hydropower projects more viable.

WIND ENERGY

It is the kinetic energy used for many centuries in water sports like sailing and for
irrigation. It converts kinetic energy into more usable forms of power. Wind turbines help to
convert the energy in the wind into mechanical energy which can be used for generating
power. Since the late 1980's the viability of wind energy has gained in prominence across the
globe. In India the states of Tamil Nadu and Gujarat lead in the field of wind energy.

BIOMASS

It is sourced from the carbonaceous waste of animals and is also the by products from
timber industry, agricultural crops, raw material from forest, household waste and wood. It
can be used to generate power with the same power plant that are burning fossil fuels and is
very much environmentally friendly.

It is being used in the western countries for applications such as combined heat and
power generation. In India 90% of the rural households and 15% of the urban households use
bio mass fuel.

NUCLEAR ENERGY

Nuclear energy can be created in nuclear reactors under strict human control. The
nuclear power can be generated by the fission of uranium, plutonium or thorium or the fusion
of hydrogen into helium. Nowadays mostly Uranium is used for generating nuclear power.
With a view to increase India's dependence on nuclear energy to offset the energy crisis in the
country, the Indian government entered into an agreement with the government of USA called
the 123 agreement. This agreement aims to assuage greater cooperation between the two
countries in the field of nuclear technology.

FUTURE TRENDS

 According to experts the private sector would play a greater role in power generation
and foreign investments would increase considerable in his sector.
 The government of India’s Hydrocarbon vision 2025 gives in details the guidelines for
the policies in India for the next 25 years to attract investment in exploration,
production, refining and distribution of petroleum products.

INDIA POWER SECTOR

India power sector or the power industry in India comprises of the various
governmental bodies looking after the power systems in India, power generation industry and
technologies in India, power supplies, power industry report showing the analysis of the
power scenario in India, the India power requirements and shortage, the various India power
supply unit and the power infrastructure in India.

MINISTRY OF POWER

Indian power sector comes under the Ministry of Power India. Earlier known as
Ministry of Energy, it comprised of separate departments for power, coal and non-
conventional sources of energy. In 1992, the Ministry of Power started working
independently with work areas covering planning and strategizing the Indian power projects
and policies.

The power management and implementation of the various power projects

undertaken, formulation and amendments of the power laws in India, management of the
power supply in India, monitoring of the power plants in india, power companies in India,
power generation in India and other power shortage problems etc.

The Ministry of Power (MoP) is coordinated by Central Electricity Authority (CEA) in all
technical and economic aspects. Along with the CEA, other subsidiary organizations of the
Mop are:

 National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC)

 National Hydro Electric Corporation (NHEC)
  Power Finance Corporation of India (PFCI)
 Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited
 North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPC)
 Rural Electrification Corporation (REC)
 Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC)
 Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB)
 Tehri Hydro Development Corporation (THDC)
 Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam (SJVN)
 Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd (Power Grid India)
 Power Trading Corporation (PTC)
 Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE)

POWER INFRASTRUCTURE IN INDIA

The power industry in India derives its funds and financing from the government,
some private players that have entered the market recently, World Bank, public issues and
other global funds. The Power Ministry India has set up Power Finance Corporation of India
that looks after the financing of the power sector in India. The Power Finance Corporation
Limited provides finance to major power projects in India for power generation and
conversion, distribution and supply of power in India.

Power Finance Corporation (PFC) Ltd India also looks after the installation of any
new power projects as well as renovation of an existing power project India. The PFC in
association with central electricity authority and the ministry of power facilitates the
development in infrastructure of the power sector India. They have taken up construction of
mega power projects that will answer to the power shortage in various states through power
transmission through regional and national power grids.

POWER SUPPLY UNITS INDIA

Power is derived from various sources in India. These include thermal power,
hydropower or hydroelectricity, solar power, biogas energy, wind power etc. the distribution
of the power generated is undertaken by Rural Electrification Corporation for electricity
power supply to the rural areas, North Eastern Electric Power Corporation for electricity
supply to the North East India regions and the Power Grid Corporation of India Limited for
an all India supply of electrical power in India.
 Thermal Power in India is mainly generated through coal, gas and oil. India coal
power forms a majority share of the source of power supply in India. The electric
power in India is generated at various thermal power stations in India. The power
generated at these thermal power plants is then distributed all over India through a
network of powergrid at regional and national levels. The power ministry organization
responsible for the thermal power management in India is the NTPC.
 Hydropower is India is one of the mega power generators in India. Various
hydropower projects and hydro power plants have been set up by the ministry of
power for generation of hydro power in India. Various dams and reservoirs are
constructed on major rivers and the kinetic energy of the flowing water is utilized to
generate hydroelectricity. The power generator here is the running water. The
hydroelectric power plants and the hydro power generation companies are managed
by the National Hydro Electric Power Corporation (NHPC).

 Wind Power in India is available in plenty as India witnesses high intensity winds in
various regions due to the topographical diversity in India. Efforts have been made to
utilize this natural source of energy available free of cost for wind power generation.
Huge wind energy farms have been set up by the government for tapping the wind
energy by using gigantic windmills and them converting the kinetic energy of the
wind into electricity by the use of power converters. The wind power advantages start
with the very fact that a wind energy power plant does not require much infrastructure
input and the raw material i.e. wind itself is available free of cost. Solar Power in
India is being utilized to generate electricity on smaller scale by setting up massive
solar panels and capturing the solar power. Solar power India is also being utilized by
the power companies in India to generate solar energy for domestic and small
industrial uses.

 Nuclear Power in India is generated at huge nuclear power plants and nuclear power
stations in India. A nuclear power plant generates the electricity using nuclear energy.
All the nuclear power plants in India are managed by the Nuclear Power Corp of India
Ltd (NPCL). The electricity from all India nuclear plants is distributed by the NPCL
as per the nuclear power project scheme. Biogas Production in India is still in its
infancy stage. Also the number of biogas plants in India is still very low. India being
the largest domestic cattle producer has plenty of biogas fuel and thus utilization of
 the fuel for mass biogas production by setting up more biogas plants in India would
solve the power shortage problem to some extent.

INTRODUCTION TO KTPS

Kothagudem Thermal Power Plant is located at Paloncha in Andhra Pradesh. The

power plant has an Installed/Derated capacity of 680/670MW with 8 units under operation. [1]
is one of the coal based power plants of APGENCO
 The plant has been divided into namely A, B and C stations.The station has been the
receipnt of many prestigious awards from various organisations including meritorious awards
instituted by the govt of india. The station has received Meritories productivity awards for
nine times and Incentive award for eight times

Generally a thermal power plant is constructed under the consideration of many

factors that influence the economic and technical constrains. The following are the factors
that influence the construction of the thermal power plant.

 Availability of water.
 Low transportation costs.
 Access to rail centers.
 Distance from coal pit head.
Incidentally Kothagudem thermal power station best suits the factors result in good
economic, social and thermal advantages to the organization as a whole, KTPS is located in
paloncha town, 15 kms long to Bhadrachalam road and railway station, Kothagudem about 8
mails long Bhadrachalam road railway station from Bhadrachalam road station to the power
house site was commissioned way back on 1-07-1965 to cater the transportation needs of the
power plant. Additionally the power station also consists of 6 mails track with marshalling
yard to transport the coal. Two main reservoirs of 6 million gallery capacity have constructed
and water was let in to the reservoir from the kinnerasani project to the supply channel. The
scheme was sanctioned in 1967 for erection of two sets of 60MW each under I-stage and two
sets of 6 MW under stage -2 of development. The abundant water supply of cheap coal from
near by Singareni collaries and abundant water supply from kinnerasini river, a tribuatary of
Godawari oare the major factors that prompted the construction of the power plant at
paloncha, presently kothagudem consists of capacity of 1220MW with 10 units in service.

MW . Total installed/derated capacity --- 700 MW
The performance of the Station was not so satisfactory in the past due to generic
defects associated with 110 MW Units and ageing of the 60 MW Units commissioned in mid
60's. With the Renovation and Modernization programme (20 activities under Phase-I at cost
of Rs.92.55 Crores and 10 activities under Phase-II at cost of Rs.12.35 Crores) and other
efforts taken, there has been a significant improvement in the performance of the Station in
recent years.
As the designed life of the existing Units of KTPS 'A Station (4x60 MW) was coming
to an end, APSEB has taken up Renovation & Life Extension works of the Units with the
financial assistance of OECF, Japan.Total expenditure was Rs.150.88 Crores. The works on
Units 2, 3 & 4 were completed during 1998-99. Works on Unit-1 were completed during
2000-01.

Under APDP Scheme, 11 R&M activities with an estimated cost of Rs.57.03 Crores
( in the areas not covered under R&L Programme) are taken up with the financial assistance
from PFC & GOI. PFC has sanctioned loan for 50% of the estimated cost. Financial
assistance for the remaining 50% from GOI is awaited. Expenditure up to 31.03.2003 was
Rs.12.66 Crores.
