State <strong>Report</strong>s (Vol.-III)<br />

Study on `Impact <strong>of</strong> Restructuring <strong>of</strong> SEBs’<br />

operating under the directions and guidance <strong>of</strong> the APTRANCO. Each<br />

DISCOM should be empowered to function independently, guided by its<br />

own board <strong>of</strong> directors.<br />

• After restructuring, engineering pr<strong>of</strong>essionals, with adequate experience<br />

from the power sector, were appointed as CMDs for five out <strong>of</strong> the six<br />

Utilities. At present, only one DISCOM is headed by an engineering<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>essional. The power sector needs the services <strong>of</strong> experts with<br />

knowledge <strong>of</strong> intricate problems <strong>of</strong> the sector. The need <strong>of</strong> the hour is to<br />

choose competent persons with knowledge, experience and expertise in the<br />

relevant field for heading the power Utilities. Adequate avenues should be<br />

created so that, in course <strong>of</strong> time, competent and deserving pr<strong>of</strong>essionals get<br />

an opportunity to rise to head the Utilities.<br />

• The vigilance activity in the DISCOMs is presently being controlled<br />

through the Joint Managing Director (Vigilance) <strong>of</strong> APTRANSCO. It<br />

should be decentralised and each DISCOM needs to handle this activity<br />

independently.<br />
