Expression of Interest VARUNMITRA SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Introduction
The ‘Solar Photovoltaic Water Pumping Systems’ is one of the most useful and popular application of Solar Energy for meeting the irrigation needs. Govt. of India is formulating many schemes to support the Solar Water Pumps for the farmers. It aims to incentivize farmers to run solar farm water pumps and use barren land for generating solar power to have extra income.
Installation of such a large number of ‘Solar Pumps’ would necessarily need ‘Trained and Skilled’ manpower for installation/ commissioning as well as for repair/ maintenance. To fulfil this need, NISE is organizing a specialised ‘Training Programs on Solar Water Pumping Systems’ on ‘PAN India’ basis to impart the knowledge and guidance in design, installation, commissioning, safety, and operation & maintenance of the solar water pumping systems. The aim is to create a ‘Pool of Trained and Skilled Workforce’, who will be called as ‘VARUNMITRAS’.
In the past NISE has conducted twenty-six similar programs on Solar Water Pumping systems (Called as Varun Mitra Programme) which have been appreciated and the demands have been invited for organizing further trainings. The participants in these ‘Training Programs’ were from different States (Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Delhi, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra Bihar/ Jharkhand, Andhra Pradesh/ Telangana and Gujarat).
The Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, Government of India, vide letter no. 32- 11/2/2018-HRD dated 25.05.2018 sanctioned NISE to conduct the Solar Water Pumping Program across the country. The goal of this training Program is to create trained manpower for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Solar Water Pumping Systems. In this regard, NISE launched a 21-days / 120 hrs Solar Water Pumping Programme titled ‘Varunmitra’ to impart comprehensive training to about 400 participants during the FY 2018- 19. As per the proposal of, NISE organized these training programs through the government institutes.
The 20 batches in 13 States have been conducted and completed successfully creating 425 Varunmitras. Thus, the given target of 400 students has been successfully achieved, and exceeded as a total number
