1) GENERAL
Annual plan of trainings of TSG describes up-to-date information about the
strategy and schedules of different training courses planned to be conducted
during the particular calendar year.
1.1 Introduction of TSG
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 NTDC.
1.2 Capacity Building of TSG
The need of improvement of training capacity of TSG NTDC was identified
during the visit of a fact finding mission of JICA (Japan International
Cooperation Agency) Japan in 2005.
A team of AKC (Asia Kyodo-Sekkei Consultant)/JICA experts, arrived at TSG
Lahore in April 2011 for 1st survey visit of TSG NTDC to undertake and start
the project. This 3-years project started in April 2011 and will be completed in
April 2014
Japanese Technical Cooperation Project for Improvement of Training
Capacity on Grid System Operations and Maintenance in The Islamic
Republic of Pakistan
The following three main objectives were set for the project:
a) Provision of new and modern training equipment by JICA
b) Revision/up-gradation of the old training course books and facilities based on
the knowledge and skills acquired through TOT
c) Training of trainers (TOT) of TSG engineers and instructors in Japan
