Foreword by: Er. Manzoor Ahmed Salroo

The future economy depends on improved business

performance, which in turn relies to great extent on

the competence of our engineers and technicians. The

Jammu & Kashmir has a proud engineering heritage,

but in an increasingly competitive world our

engineering competence must reflect the needs of

business and industry for astute and experienced creators and

managers of technology.

Engineers also have a more important role than ever, as technology

and the demand which we make of it become increasingly complex, in

ensuring that development takes place in a way which does not cause

problems for safety or our health. They have an equally crucial part to

play in minimizing risk to environment, and in bringing about

sustainable development, not only in the Jammu & Kashmir but

through out the nation.

The Inspection agency has well versed system but it need to modify its

structure and more autonomous to make our own standards and

manpower well be more efficient for the future development of the

state, in the field of electricity. Two Institutes will be established in the

Kashmir and Jammu provinces separately to make equal developments

in both sectors.

I am particularly pleased that the unique and vital contribution of the

Engineers and technicians to our system and well being has been

recognized in these standards.

At lost but not least I think government will be considering this project

proposal for development of future systems and safety.

The Inspection agency has much engagement and has a watch on the

system .I want one part of this circle will crated as Institute and will be

given autonomous status so this body will upgrade the manpower to

3


the standard so that our engineer and technicians really contrast with

other engineers and technicians through out world.

Beside of that this Institute shall become a foundation for documental

research and a forum for debates. As our department [Power

Development Department] is lacking in the field of fundamental

management at all most in all levels, it is not only need of time but

also we had many examples regarding this system at national levels

are National Institute of Power.

Introduction:This project is an unsolicited proposal to establish an Institute, which has autonomous in nature and should work for professional development and continuous education under vocational engineering trades particularly for electrical engineering department., so the standards in the department will be maintained, this proposed Institute shall work under the control of Power Development Department [Inspection Agency] ,as actually the department has the Inspection wing ,which grant some sort of licenses and certificate; to enhance this system for further development ,this need the proper management to provide these licenses properly in professional manner and should be taught /trained as regular traineeship at different levels ,such as line-staff, technicians, Supervisors, Licentiates, corporate etc. All the concerned officers/officials should be trained according to emerging technologies and upgraded properly and safety concerns. The Technicians should be trained for technology and safety and engineers should be trained for management programmes respectively. The structure has already maintained in the circle but it has to modify by the way of professionalism.

The Purpose of the Institute:

The Inspection agency, when it control the institute, it stand explains the value of becoming recognized as a professional Electrical Engineer and Supervision or technicians. It will describe the requirement that will be achieved for registration. A professional Engineers and technicians carry many responsibilities including the need to observe a professional code of conduct, and up gradation of knowledge.

Roles and services of Jammu & Kashmir Electrical Licensing & management Institute

Jammu & Kashmir Electrical Licensing & management Institute shall be an independent organization should operating under Government of Jammu & Kashmir Power development Department (SRO 193 of 1982 dated 15-05-1982) It is a non-profit-making body with an income derived mainly from the examination entry fees paid by candidates.It shall be called the Jammu & Kashmir Electrical Licensing & management

Institute. With amendment to the SRO shall be need to establish this Institute.Jammu & Kashmir Electrical Licensing & management Institute offers a range of competencies (known as programmes) in vocational and general subjects. The qualifications developed by Jammu & Kashmir Electrical Licensing & management Institute designed to provide a combination of practical experience and theoretical knowledge. They are therefore recognized by employers as evidence that the holder has the right skills to do a particular jobCertificates, licenses and advanced competencies are awarded to candidates who have been successful in all the units of an assessment (examination) at a particular level. Certificates of Unit Credit record success in a component of an assessment. Jammu & Kashmir Electrical Licensing & management Institute does not itself provide training or education courses, nor does it always specify lengths of study preparation. It awards certificates, diplomas or advanced diplomas for achievement, not attendance on courses. Colleges or other education or training establishments (known as ‘centres’) will enter candidates for assessment when they are deemed to be ready.

What is competence?Registration as professional Engineer and technician is open to everyone who can demonstrate competence to perform professional work to necessary standards and commitment to:

Maintain that competence Work within professional codes Participate actively within the

profession.

Assessment of CompetenceApplicant seeking registration as a professional Engineer, Licentiate, Supervision, Technician or apprentice, must have there competence assessed by professional review. Either by a accredited Institute or licentiates Institute by Inspection Agency to assess applicants. The assessment is undertaken by practicing engineering professional, trained in this kind of assessment. The assessment is undertaken against the competence standards listed in this documents, which however will usually have been adapted by the institute to more representative of particular technologies or industries it represents.The process of assessment starts with receipt of a written application made in

5


accordance with the requirements of the particular level.

TrainingRegular Training programmes /courses should be made available for staff in long/short term basis so that the students should assessed for a particular level of competence. And new programs shall be available for 10-20 days for continue professional development. So our staff members of the Power development department have vast knowledge of technologies.

LinemanThe line staff of power development department on which the department runs, the training programmes should be available or assessed to the level them competent, and knows the basis safety rules and pressures. As the Inspection agency grants the Class A & B Wireman Licenses, but it should be maintained and developed according to the new needs of scenario.

SupervisorThe Inspection Agency has also grant the Supervisor Competency certificates, this level shall be developed further or upgrade to meet the requirements of Technology and 1st Level management programmes and be treated equivalent to some level of competency and should be accepted for signatory at local councils. The ITI holder should be accepts directly at this level.

LicentiateThe licentiate level shall be Insert in the chart either for diploma holders or Supervisor with some experience and assessment. And a status of middle Management, either in government sector or private sector shall provide.

Corporate:The corporate competences should be given to the degree holder or by progressive route, and some sort of power system management programmes should be taught or assessed by the Institute and a status of Top Management should be provided to them.

Maintaining CompetenceThe candidate is applying for registration as a professional engineer –technician well be required to evidence that they have taken steps to ensure that their

competence is maintained, and that they intend to continue to do this. This is an important part of recognition of professional Engineer or Technician. it is for this reason that professional Engineer /technician may only obtain and retain registration if they are members of one of Institute.

Registration with the InstituteAny one seeking registration with institute should be the resident of Jammu & Kashmir State and employee of the Power Development Department and provide the fee as applicable time by time.

Entry RequirementsTheir of five levels of competencies within the Institute, so all the levels must have academic qualification 10th upto licentiate and for corporate it should be 12th and technical qualification from certificate to degree in Electrical or Electronics Brach of Engineering and few years of experience, which will be framed time by time as per needs of level.

Professional DevelopmentMany potential professional Engineers /Technicians will not have had the advantage of formal training, and will need to demonstrate they have acquired the necessary competences through extended experience, some of this supervised. In some cases employers will make use of occupational standards in determining job descriptions and for general staff development .Evidence of employer recognition of competences and relevant skills will assist in achieving registration.The value of formal education and trainingIn order to gain the competences necessary for registration, a period of training and experience will have been undertaken. To make understanding the knowledge/theory it is must to have a basic formal education and training to achieve the status of the competencies.
