The weak links are a result of the technology import culture from the Colonial legacy- especially as
Electricity was considered an input and not an end unlike Space and Nuclear sectors

The reason is late Indian entry to technology development arena. Affluent nations have had the
advantage of SEQUENTIAL DEVELOPMENT facilitating knowledge systems development

Indian
Industry
Scenario

Missed Opportunity
Few Technical Institutes established
No involvement in Engg. Sciences
Import escapism culture established
No studies on domestic conditions
Poor industry quality consciousness

Systemic Distortions
Focus on Equipment Multiplication
Electricity perceived as an input
Availability of easy imports
Low focus on T.D. development
Imported designs were implanted

Technology implants in the Electricity sector have had serious fall out on development of
knowledge systems which are required for Technology Development

The effect entered even organisations set ups which do not differentiate between
knowledge work, service functions and skill work

Typical Indian Organization

Mixed up knowledge and service functions
No education differentiation at entry
Absence of filters on Management Levels
Undifferentiated manpower movement
No separate specialist cadres

Presence of distinct knowledge groups in the company structure provides a robust

framework which facilitates informed management decisions and provides internal
resources for new programme conceptualisation, roll out and midcourse corrections.

evolution of country wide systems with Knowledge and Technology focus...

Cost Reductions- a quickly reachable destination

Systematic strategies are the only requirement
Solvable in 5-10 years time
Need to look at the bigger picture

The real challenge lies in the future

- Dramatic changes are in the offing
- Power sector has to shoulder these
The power sector has to reorient itself to the new challenges for positive deliverance
