Report of Indian Institute of Public Administration ... - Ministry of Power

National Report (Vol.-II)
Study on ‘Impact of Restructuring of SEBs’
should be appointed for a minimum tenure of three years and made accountable
for achieving set targets and may be given incentives for higher achievements.
6.13.8 The selection process for the posts of CMDs, managing directors and
functional directors of the restructured companies should be strictly based on
professional excellence. The policy of not allowing a person to hold more than
one post should be strictly followed and the practice of appointing the
CMD/MD of one company (or the Secretary of the Government department) as
the Chairperson of any other company should be discontinued.
6.14 Capacity Building and Developing Management Cadres
6.14.4 Indian Institutes of Management (IIM) should be encouraged to devise
customised management development programmes and Executive MBA
programmes with specialisation in power sector management, and the Utilities
should be encouraged to nominate their middle level managers for such
intensive programmes based on selection criteria to be evolved jointly with
IIMs, who may also be associated with such selections. Training and Academic
Institutes like Administrative Staff College of India (ASCI) and Indian Institute
of Public Administration (IIPA) could also play a major role in the
management development initiatives for the power sector by evolving
appropriate training modules.
6.14.5 State Governments should explore the availability of competent executives
from the industry/CPSUs to take over the senior positions of the restructured
companies on contract basis/deputation for fixed terms (as is being done in
Utilities of Gujarat where professionals from the open market are inducted at
Executive Directors level, on fixed tenure basis, with compensation packages
linked to targeted performance achievements). It is necessary to provide
attractive compensation packages to such appointees without being constrained
by the State Civil Services pay structures.
6.15 Centre for Manpower Planning and Development
6.15.1 It would be desirable to establish a ‘Centre for Manpower Planning and
Development’ (CMPAD) as part of an existing institutes of excellence like
IIPA, National Power Training Institute (NPTI), ASCI, etc. The CMPAD
should be tasked not only with manpower planning and development, but
should also act as an agency to collect and collate data and information about
various issues related to HRD. The CMPAD could also act as a knowledge
bank to provide information to Utilities by circulating through its websites and
