Background of Study
It was to analyze the broad trends in the utilization of power
among farmers under the jurisdiction of Paschim Gujarat Vij

It was intended to examine whether the farmers who do not
have authorized power connection for agricultural purposes tend
to illegally use power thus leading to power scarcity or not.

operations of Energy Conservation department in specific.
To gain experience in energy conservation field and
understand it practically.
To enhance our management skills other then theories we
learnt in books.

Observation and Learnings
Observation: During my study, I observed that in currentfinancial year (2012-13) there were 4.6 lakhs pendingapplication seeking electricity connection in farm sector andthe government planned to provide 1 lakh connection to ruralareas but provided just 48,435 connections sanctioned byPGVCL so far.
Learnings:
During my study, I got an opportunity to learn aboutteam dynamics and its various roles of working in anorganization.
(cont’d)
With these I would like to say that organization working and
cultural environment was really a nice experience for me where
there was no bias between people, everybody feels free to take
initiative and help each other.
Learning about SPSS software, a decision making tool used by
researchers to carry out results from long processed data was a
great opportunity for me and involvement of taking initiative
regarding any work assigned to me motivated me to do well
throughout my internship.
