PREFACE
“Genius makes its observations in short hand; talent writes them out at length.”
As mentioned by the above quotations observing and on site viewing are a very firm
base for learning. We learn a lot more by seeing the theories than we read in books,
applied practically by the pros and by seeing how they actually put them to work.

the facts that internship enhance one’s practical loom towards work and provide
maximum chances for learning, which will obviously help out candidate in the practical
fields. The intention at the rear about internship program is that the students can analyze,
observe, feel, examine the organization environment and equip themselves with the tools
to face the ever shifting challenges in the organizations. In short internship plays a pivotal

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
“Experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you.”
-Aldus Huxley
I judge my time spent at TESCO as being the most productive and exhilarating
experience of my corporate life. Few of the main highlights of my work experience while
at HR Department were:
• Good Leadership
• Congenial Work Atmosphere
• Challenging Tasks Assignment
• Employee Empowerment
• Proactive Problem Resolution
Before the details description of the report I start with the summary of work I done. The
basic purpose of this summary is to give an idea about the contents and efforts made
behind the completion of the report to the reader.
I was assigned to visit the TESCO to observe the working environment, function,
procedures and behavior of doing work. Internship was started from 01-08-2010 and end
on 30-09-2010, this period was the real experience e of my life and I saw the setup,
working process and formal documentation of the TESCO.
The TESCO is a very big organization with several departments working in the head
office. The human resource department which deals with the internees assigned me to the
TESCO HANGU CIRCLE. I worked in Technical section of TESCO and learned about
distribution system of TESCO, technical correspondence between departments and flow
of data between departments. Here staff gave me opportunity to do practical work. It was
a really nice and fruitful experience for my upcoming practical life.
I would like to conclude by saying that even though every person will have a
different story to tell, the common factor that binds us all is the good work done by our
predecessors in the IBMS.I am hopeful that as we pass through the corridors of this great
institution into the real world, this legacy will be kept and upheld by the future generation
of IBMS.

department of TESCO Hangu Circle WAPDA.In Finance department I have particularly
studied the directorate of operation and maintenance, directorate of receipts and revenue
and directorate of budget and payment. It was not possible for me to go through each and
every aspect of the company due to the restriction, which was officially proclaimed for
eight weeks, however I have tried my best to cover some of the basic and important
aspects of the study
The data collected for the analysis and review includes both primary and secondary data.
The methods used for collecting primary and secondary data are as follow:
Primary data:
Data collected for the first time is called primary data. The method used to collect such
data includes:
1. Personal observations
2. Discussions
3. Interviews
Secondary data:
The data collected earlier by some one else and which has gone through mathematical and
statistical techniques after its collection, is called secondary data. Methods used to collect
secondary data include:
1 .None of the human made things can be considered perfect. Only things created by
divine are perfect and error free. No matter how carefully a study or research is carried
out it will not be perfect and complete in all respects. This study was conducted in
conformity with the objectives of study; however the study is subject to following
limitations.
2. The study does not include broad explanation of facts and figure due to the following
factors:
4. Limited duration of internship makes the analysis restricted because all the
technical operation of the company cannot be understood and analyzed in only
two months.
The study will benefit the students of human resources management. They will take a
better exposure in the field of HR.
CHAPTER 2
WAPDA, the Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority, was created in 1958 as
a Semi-Autonomous Body for the purpose of coordinating and giving a unified direction
to the development of schemes in Water and Power Sectors, which were previously being
dealt with, by the respective Electricity and Irrigation Department of the Provinces.
• Since October 2007, WAPDA has been bifurcated into two distinct entities i.e.
WAPDA and Pakistan Electric Power Company (PEPCO). WAPDA is
responsible for water and hydropower development whereas PEPCO is vested
with the responsibility of thermal power generation, transmission, distribution and
billing. There is an independent Chairman and MD (PEPCO) www.pepco.gov.pk
replacing Chairman WAPDA and Member (Power) who were previously holding
the additional charges of these posts.
• WAPDA is now fully responsible for the development of Hydral Power and Water
Sector Projects.
• PEPCO has been fully empowered and is responsible for the management of all
the affairs of corporatized nine Distribution Companies (DISCOs), four
Generation Companies (GENCOs) and a National Transmission Dispatch
Company (NTDC). These companies are working under independent Board of
Directors (Chairman and some Directors are from Private Sectors).
• The Companies are administratively autonomous and leading to financial
autonomy by restructuring their balance sheets by bringing their equity position to
at least 20 percent, required to meet the prudential regulations and to facilitate
financing from commercial sector (approved by ECC).
• The Loan Liability Transfer Agreements (LLTA) have been signed with
Corporate Entities and execution of loan transfer is complete.
• All Entities have the physical possessions of all their operational assets.
• On 24th Feb. 2007 Ministry of Water & Power notified NEPRA approved Tariff
for all Distribution Companies replacing unified WAPDA Tariff.
• Legal Agreements such as Business Transfer Agreements, Operation
Development Agreement, Energy Supply Agreement, Business Supplementary
Agreement and Fuel Supply Agreement etc. were executed between WAPDA and
Corporate Entities to facilitate commercial operations.
• Regulatory instruments like Grid Code, Distribution Codes, Performance Standard
for Distribution Companies and Transmission Companies were drafted and got
approved from (www.nepra.org.pk) in 2007.
• All major lenders gave their consent for transfer of their loan from WAPDA to
Corporate Entities, thus 326 loan assumption agreements were signed amongst
respective Companies, WAPDA and EAD (Economic Affairs Division) GOP.
• CPPA is established under the coverage of NTDC for payments from DISCOs to
IPPs, GENCOs and NTDC. Ultimately, it will function independently under
Federal Govt. and all forthcoming IPPs will be under CPPA.
The Charter of Duties of WAPDA is to investigate, plan and execute schemes for the
following fields:
The Authority WAPDA is one of the largest employers of human resources in Pakistan.
Over the years WAPDA has modern and progressive organization built-up a reservoir of
Technical know-how and expertise. It comprises of a Chairman and three (3) Members
working through a Secretary.
The restructuring program of WAPDA's Power Wing is based on the new strategic
policies of the GOP and endorsed and supported by the donor institutions. The aim of this
transition is to install corporate and business culture through: adopting of good business
practices, enhancing productivity and efficiency, including customer orientation and
service culture, improving quality of services setting performance targets, reducing costs,
theft and wastage. This will be based on extensive use of information technology,
management information systems, and monitoring and prudent decision-making.
It has been decided that some of the functions currently being performed by WAPDA are
of national importance and will therefore continue to remain with WAPDA/GOP in the
largest interest of the country.
PEPCO has been fully empowered and is responsible for the management of all the
affairs of corporatized nine Distribution Companies (DISCOs), four Generation
Companies (GENCOs) and a National Transmission Dispatch Company (NTDC). These
companies are working under independent Board of Directors (Chairman and some
Directors are from Private Sectors). All Entities have the physical possessions of all their
operational assets.
On 24th Feb. 2007 Ministry of Water & Power notified NEPRA approved Tariff for all
Distribution Companies replacing unified WAPDA Tariff.
Legal Agreements such as Business Transfer Agreements, Operation Development
Agreement, Energy Supply Agreement, Business Supplementary Agreement and Fuel
Supply Agreement etc. are executed between Lahore Electric Supply Co. and Corporate
Entities to facilitate commercial operations.
Regulatory instruments like Grid Code, Distribution Codes, and Performance Standard
for Distribution Companies and Transmission Companies were drafted and got approved
from NEPRA in 2007.
WAPDA:
The electricity supply service in Pakistan, initially, was undertaken by different agencies,
both in public and private sectors, in different areas. In order to provide for the unified
and coordinated development of the water and power resources, Water and Power
Development Authority (WAPDA) was created in 1958 through WAPDA Act, 1958.
The local areas electricity distribution service was being performed by various Regions of
WAPDA. Then the Area Electricity Board (AEB) Peshawar, on the eight AEBs in
Pakistan, was established under the scheme of Area Electricity Boards in 1982, in order to
provide more autonomy and representation to provincial government, elected
representatives, industrialists, agriculturalists and other interest groups in functions of the
AEBs.
TESCO:
The environment and structure of the power industry throughout the world are undergoing
dramatic change. The power sector is moving from monopoly to privatization and from
integration to disintegration. To keep pace with this change, the Government of Pakistan
approved a Strategic Plan in 1994 as a consequence of which the power wing of WAPDA
has been unbundled into 12 Companies for generation, transmission and distribution of
electricity.
TESCO was reorganized into one such corporatized entity under the name of Tribal
Electric Supply Company (TESCO) with effect from NOV 2004, with the aim of
commercialization and eventually privatization. TESCO provides its services to FATA
region.

CHAPTER 5
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
5.1 VISION:
Vision of the TESCO
“As the leading electricity distribution company, strive to provide un-interrupted
electric supply and quality service to all customers at the minimum possible cost.”
Since TESCO is a public institute and NEPRA is responsible for its tariff selection etc.
The failure of electricity is governed and supervised by PEPCO. Therefore as described in
TESCO’s mission statement that leading electricity Distribution Company providing
uninterrupted supply at minimum possible cost, is still unachievable. The whole
company, its board of governors and top level management is trying at their best for
providing uninterruptible supply at customer premises. The current strategies of TESCO
are towards the provision of electric supply all the time. But unfortunately due to the
erroneous government policies the most important part of power generation is lost;
therefore the company is not successive in achieving their goals and objectives.
The matter of cost is also significant in TESCO’s vision. But to provide the electricity
round the clock it is necessary that the power houses must work effectively and
efficiently. Therefore the power houses require complete maintenance and testing. The
government also did not pay any attention on this matter. Now the work is too much and
a lot of financial aid is requiring sustaining the power houses. Whole of this scenario
creates a boost in cost of electricity. Therefore provision of electricity at low cost is not
possible until now.
Strength and weakness basically occur in the internal environments of the organization. It
provides the information that in which area we are strong and weak and it provides the
solution how we can overcome the weakness and utilize the strength in a right direction.
The SWOT analysis is a comprehensive and critical overview of the operations,
procedures, rules and regulations, services and other related activities, the analysis
include the analysis of TESCO in the light of the specific variables which directly or
indirectly affect the operations of the TESCO. The tool selected for the analysis of
organization is SWOT analysis.
It is the moral and professional duty of the directors, managers and executives to
overcome the weakness and convert them into strengths, and get maximum benefits and
opportunity from the prevailing resources.

The Tribal Electric Supply Co. consumes large amounts of cash, but because they have
low market shares they do not generate much cash. The result is large net cash
consumption. Therefore according to the Boston Growth Shares Matrix the TESCO falls
in Question Marks.
But in the case of TESCO the competitors are limited to provide their services in the
defined areas of the country. They cannot provide their services beyond the limitations.

• No proper arrangement for electricity they have dames and generators but they
are not work according to the requirement of the TESCO.
• Some time TESCO employee create tens environment in the TESCO due to
there non cooperative behavior.

building of the TESCO is not according to the requirement of TESCO.
• Some time the employee doesn’t cooperate with customer they must have needed
to cooperate with customers to create good relationship with them.
