HISTORY OF TSG 2.1 CIDA Project Start in 1985 A technology transfer project between CIDA & WAPDA started in 1985 for improvement and up gradation of GSO skills for O&M of grid system. TSG NTDCL accepted the challenge and established a core technology on O&M and training system. 2.2 CIDA Project Completed in 1990 Joint project of CIDA-WAPDA was completed. 2.3 JICA Project Signed in April 2005 Capacity building of TSG by cooperation of JICA Japan An Agreement was signed between Government of Pakistan and Government of Japan for improvement of training capacity on grid system operation and maintenance in Pakistan. 2.4 JICA Project Started in April 2011 Identified the need for capacity building of TSG and worked out in 2011 for improving core issues on old and obsolete training course curriculum and training equipment the three years project started and will be completed in March 2014. “Japanese technical cooperation project for improvement of training capacity on grid system operations and maintenance in the Islamic republic of Pakistan” Clear policy and objectives Capacity building of TSG trainers and experts Training of trainers (TOT) in Japan Acquiring advanced technical knowledge Preparation of new training course books Up-gradation of training equipment 4 3. TSG INTRODUCTION 3.1 Introduction Technical Services Group, hereafter called “TSG” was established in June 1985 vide an agreement between WAPDA (Govt. of Pakistan) and CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency-Govt. of Canada) with the objective to improve capabilities for maintaining the GSO system in WAPDA. The joint project of CIDA-WAPDA was completed in 1990. Thereafter TSG was working without any external support or assistance till the project under technical cooperation of JICA (Japan) started in April, 2011 for capacity building of TSG. Since 2005, TSG is functioning under the Services Division NTDCL. The only one training organization on Grid system in Pakistan 3.2 Capacity Building of TSG On 30.04.2005, an agreement was signed between Govt. of Pakistan and Govt. of Japan for improvement of training capacity on grid system operation and maintenance in Pakistan.
