CMD Message

From the Desk of CMDDear Colleagues,

First of all, my hearty greetings to you and your family for a

happy, prosperous and successful year 2015.

As you all appreciate, the year 2014 had great

accomplishments in our performance and that excellence

overwhelmed me to think about an amazing new beginning of

2015 with new resolutions. Surely, new beginnings always

brings hope, opportunities and challenges but the realization

is that if new beginnings are built on our experiences the

footing become stable and as time goes, which makes us to

grow more and equip us to face the challenges ahead.

In fact, we are at loss of happiness at the dawn of this New

Year, as our performance has not come to the expected level

for the current financial year. Now, we have entered in to last

quarter of the fiscal 2014-15. Considering the respective

Pro-rata MoU Excellent level targets set for the current

financial year till 31.12.2014, we could achieve only 91.1 % in

Overburden removal , 91% in Lignite production and 97.13 %

in Power generation. Obviously, due to various Operation &

Maintenance related problems in Neyveli Mines , generation

loss in TPS-I due to HP Heater mishap, non commissioning

of 2x250MW TPS-II Expn. and the loss of generation in

2x125 BTPP on account of Operation of the plant at reduced

load.

While we analyze the status of performance of each Units,

I am concerned to note that with regard to respective Pro-rata

MoU Excellent level targets in Overburden removal and

Lignite production for the F-Y 2014-15 till Dec'2014, Mine – II

could only achieve 80.32% and 93% of the respective

Production targets. Similarly Mine IA has achieved 94.54% in

OB removal and 79 % in Lignite production. Mine-I has shown

comparatively good results in OB removal and Lignite

production to the tune of 95.96% and 94% of the set targets

respectively.

Despite all those odds, it is very much appreciable that in

power generation front till Dec' 2014, TPS-I Expn. and TPS-II

have achieved more than 15 % and 14 % of the respective

Pro-rata MoU excellent level targets and surpassed the

generation level of the corresponding period of the previous

year. TPS-I and BTPP could achieve only 95.16% and

81.92% of the respective Pro-rata targets up to December

'2014 due the reasons as I mentioned earlier.

At this juncture, I would like to remind that the next three

months are more crucial since we have to maximize the Mine

production and Power generation to achieve the set targets of

the year 2014-15.

Further, let us firm up the priorities and take the resolution in

the New Year as,

3 Commissioning of both the units of TSP-II Expansion in

the current financial year

3 Commissioning of both the units of NTPL project by

April 2015 and May 2015

3 To get Environment clearance for Ghatampur Thermal

Power Project and to get the GOI approval

3 Gear up the Project Execution activities and expedite

commissioning as per project schedule

3 Commissioning of balance 28 Units of 1.5 MW each Wind

Turbines of the 51MW Wind Power Project is being installed in

Tirunelveli District

3 Commissioning of 10 MW Solar Power Projects in Neyveli

3 Ensuring immediate land availability for Mine-I movement

and Paravanar permanent diversion work for advancement of

Mine-II

3 Expedite Land Acquisition process for acquisition of

588.08Ha of land for Mine-II Expn. and 242.97Ha for Mine-IA

3 I expect we shall bestow our best efforts in realization of the

said resolutions so as to have a faster growth to reach our

development goals

I am very glad to note that our dedication, hard work,

systematic approach, new initiatives etc., have brought many

laurels to NLC. I am very much delighted to share with you my

profound pleasure in receiving the prestigious National

Energy Conservation Award instituted by Union Ministry of

Power, in recognition of our commendable efforts towards

Energy conservation measures in Mine-I.

I am pleased to note that 58th Annual General Body Meeting of

our Company was held on 24.09.2014 at Chennai in which a

dividend of 28% was declared for the year 2013-14. We have

also presented a cheque for R271.79 Cr. to Govt of India as final

dividend for the financial year 2013-2014 towards GoI's share

holdings, with this total dividend paid for the year

2013-14 comes to R 422.78 Cr.

I feel proud to say that NLC once again proved its Social

obligation. We have donated R 1.0 Crore to Chief Minister's

Relief Fund for the flood affected State of Jammu & Kashmir.

We have also donated R 1.0 Crore and R 50 Lakhs to Chief

Ministers' Relief Fund for the Cyclone 'Hud-Hud' ravaged state

of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha respectively.

Newsletter of NLC Vigilance Department

Lignite Eyes

From the pen of CVO

Shiv Raj Singh, IFS

Chief Vigilance Officer

With best wishes to all,

All employees as well as People from society expect strong will

from vigilance departments to tackle the problem of

corruption by teething present vigilance resources for

eradication of corruption menace having given mandate to it.

However, Counting on accountable governance, the

responsibility of a common employee as well as management

in fighting corruption also cannot be undermined.

In fact, we normally conceive corruption in terms of economic

crime having immediate financial implications. Actually

corruption is much broader term having wider ambit and

ramifications. It ranges from economic corruption to moral

corruption, to social corruption etc., all having negative

implications on growth. It is only by greed and not by need that

is conceived by human psychology. Before we deal with this

evil, we need to understand the type and genesis of corruption

and tackle it more specifically rather than accordingly. We

need to be transparent and uniform in our practice, be it an

office or business or for that matter any work. The emerging

concept is a proactive vision as well as an action to make every

individual and organization, transparent in its working and a

habitual follower of rules.

So change of mindset for fighting this problem tooth and nail is

the basic need of hour. Creating awareness on vigilance

among the people at all levels will certainly help to achieve our

goal in a time bound manner with long lasting effects.

Vigilance has primarily two aspects to deal with. One part is

preventive vigilance, which is aimed at to create awareness

among the people so as to follow thumb rule of "prevention is

better than cure". It not only creates awareness in the mindset

due to end results of such crimes but also raises morale of an

individual not to indulge in unlawful immoral practices. Our

actions are aimed at to create deterrent effect in the mind. In

fact, this aspect needs special and extra attention in order to

build self conscious and ethically strong work culture free

from impure thoughts. This approach is purely informative,

educative and propulsive to efficiency in nature. It creates a

sense of discipline and responsibility in a set up where we

have to have system of checks and balances. Ultimately such

efforts yield long term effects on cleaning our system from

corrupt practices.

The other part of vigilance activity is Punitive vigilance, that

aims at granting punishment after committing crime or acts of

omission or commission. It is more a reformative type of action

with subsequent multiple effects and as such not considered

as a powerful fool proof method of tackling corruption issue. It

corrects the human aberrations and serves as a lesson for

others. Instead it is sometimes used as a tool for victimisation

and vindication, be it at personal or professional level or

otherwise, so needs less encouragement compared to

preventive aspects of vigilance.

Together we need to change our mind set, feel consciously

responsible and fight by creating much needed awareness on

vigilance aspects for ultimate removal of corruption menace.

Compromising with our moral and ethical values and

succumbing to this evil for our petty gains, simply destroy us

and our nation.
