by SJVNL Management to implement E - Banking, inspite
of functional difficulties being faced in this regard,
due to remoteness of sites and unavailability of core banking
facilities, at remote locations.
Efforts are also being made to start compilation of status
of bill payments to contractors / suppliers etc. and uploading
of the same on SJVNL official website.
Works & Procurement Policy (W&PP) is also being
reviewed and revised to make systems more transparent,
functional and suitable to cater to present requirements, at
the behest of Vigilance Deptt.. The matter is being pursued
with the management for its early implementation.
It is also being emphasized with SJVNL Management to
expedite the preparation of Finance and other related
Manuals, in the best interest of the Corporation. In this
context, the process of appointment of Consultant, for
preparation of Manuals, has also been started by SJVNL.
Vigilance Deptt. has also been insisting on development of
indigenous spares for NJHPS generating machines. In this
regard, the process of setting up of workshop for
development of HVOF hard coating facilities to the
underwater parts of generating machines, has begun in
SJVNL. The development of in-house facility in SJVNL shall
not only help in reducing the costs on the same account,
but will also go a long way in tackling the problems in
operation and maintenance of hydro power
machines in the country, arising out of high silt content
present in river water.
Vigilance Deptt. has also suggested a proposal for creating
"data base systems" that can generate "snapshot scenarios
of available resources (manpower, machinery etc.) and
hindrances on weekly basis, at the time of processing of
claims, in order to curb / restrict huge claims raised by
major, contractors for main works of Projects.
Vigilance Department has advised the management to
constitute Claims settlement committees at both field level
and corporate level.
The matter regarding job rotation is being pursued with the
Management of SJVNL. However, it is understood that, in
view of the specialized nature of works in many areas,
problems exist in implementation of this across the board.
The matter regarding safe and smooth running of 1500
MW NJHPS power station, involving issues like installation
of dewatering pumps, and adequacy of fire fighting
mechanism installed in Transformer Hall and Power House
of NJHPS, is also being emphasized to SJVNL
Management, in order to tackle any such eventuality.
Vigilance deptt. has also pursued with the
SJVNL Management regarding manpower planning and
enhancing employees morale and motivation in view of the
high attrition rate being observed in SJVNL during recent
times, for the survival of the Organization and to be in line
with the rapid growth plan of SJVNL to develop new hydro
projects in the imminent future, in the present highly
competitive scenario.
