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) has 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

sectors with an ultimate object to put Pakistan on the track of development,

during the next 3-12 years. The building of these dams will not only help
address acute water challenge but also produce cheap and clean

Overall Comparison between Theory (things you have learned in the classroom)
and Practice
During the tenure of my internship I have done as well as observed many practical
activities and I observed that there is a big difference between the bookish knowledge
and practical work but we cannot deny the importance of theoretical knowledge
because this knowledge provides a base line for practical work.
In my opinion practical work is different and more challenging from theoretical work
Things that I have observed at WAPDA are as follows;
 Theoretical knowledge just gives us an idea about an activity but in
practice these activities are more cleared to us by doing them.
 We learn more by the execution of activities in practical
 For every issue or purpose data is kept by the WAPDA whereas in
classroom documentation is not kept or compulsory for each and every
matter.
 In an organization we had to follow the rules and policies strictly
 In WAPDA every employee had to pass departmental promotion
examination and training for the promotion .his ACR (annual confidential
reports) are also evaluated in this regard.
 A complete medium is used for any task where in classroom it is not
compulsory for routine work.
 Every employee ( officers as well as staff) follows the hierarchy of
supervisor or authority

 Corporate social responsibility
Sports
WAPDA Sports Board was established in 1960 for the promotion of sports in
WAPDA with ultimate goal to uplift the National sports. WAPDA provide equal
opportunity to all areas of Pakistan and for man and women alike.
32
Education
Conscious of its corporate social responsibility, WAPDA is providing education to
WAPDA/Non-WAPDA students. Since majority of the students belong to lower strata
of society in economic and social terms, the fees are quite nominal. The primary aim
focus and objective of education is to inculcate in the students not only the thirst for
academics but also the basic values of life for example love of humanity, brotherhood,
togetherness etc. so that they may become useful members of the society.
Health care
WAPDA strives hard to take care of the social needs of its employees and their
dependent family members. Most important of these facilities is the Health Cover
because a healthy and mentally satisfied worker is the back bone and vital asset of any
vibrant organization.
WAPDA Medical Services with the MOTO of "CURE WITH CARE" is doing a
commendable job in providing effective and efficient health care facilities through its
network of hospitals and dispensaries in various parts of the country.
These services are availed not only by WAPDA employees but are also being
extended to the employees of various corporatized units of WAPDA including
DISCO's, GENCO's & NTDC. Keeping in view the quantum and critical nature of
these requirements it was decided to establish a Departmental Healthcare Delivery
System because it will be cost effective for the organization, convenient both for
patients and employer as well as can be regulated to avoid misuse .

Activities which I Performed in PUBLIC RELATION department:
 Preparing a corporate social responsibility policy for WAPDA (according to
our own ideas)
WAPDA is autonomous body which comes under the hold of federal government. Its
main purpose is to generate hydel electricity and construction of dams. Every
organization should play its own role in development of country. In this regard
corporate social responsibilities play an important role .AS an internee I am assigned
for preparing a policy of corporate social responsibility
According to my own view WAPDA is huge organization of PAKISTAN. So it
should perform more corporate responsibilities. More schools should be open in rural
areas of Pakistan. These schools will play an important role in increasing literacy
34
rate.WAPDA shall work with local schools, colleges and universities to assist young
people in choosing their future careers, being an advocate for WAPDA
Seminar should be organized in school colleges and universities.New ideas should be
encouraged. Health is important for any country. So more hospital should be open in
rural areas of Pakistan .
WAPDA shall ensure a high level of performance while minimizing and effectively
managing risk ensuring that uphold the values of honesty, partnership and fairness in
relationships with all stakeholders. WAPDA contracts will clearly set out the agreed
terms, conditions and the basis of relationship and will operate in a way those
safeguards against unfair practices. WAPDA shall encourage dialogue with local
communities for mutual benefit .WAPDA will register and resolve complaints in
accordance with standards of service .WAPDA shall support and encourage own
employees to help local community organizations and activities in their
region.WAPDA shall operate an equal opportunities policy for all present and
potential future employees and will offer employees clear and fair terms of
employment and provide resources to enable their continual development .WAPDA

CHAPTER III
INTERNSHIP ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Overall assessment of the internship experience
Doing internship in WAPDA is very interesting and challenging experience for me as
a business student. I gained lot of experience during my internship tenure. I have to
performed many activities during my internship about which I justhad bookish
knowledge. With the help of this internship I improved many skills like
communication confidence and problem solving. I will recommend for every MBE
Student should performed all assigned activities with full passion so that this time
period helped her/ him in his /her practical life. Internship is a precious asset for our
future life
Internship Preparation at the Department of Business Education
The departments of business education give us orientation about how to conduct the
internship. They guided about how to face and tackle problems during this tenure and
also guide us about how to work in an organization, how to behave with officers and
staff of organization. They motivate us that we give our best performance .They guide
us about the preparation of internship report. This orientation helps us in our
internship. They guide us about each and every point about the preparation of
internship report. Our teachers have also arranged for us a business week for our
grooming. They also arranged for us a tour of stock exchange Lahore to gain a
practical knowledge.
41
Major Responsibilities Undertaken During Internship
During the tenure of my internship I worked in four departments in which I performed
activities which are very challenging and interesting for me.

42
Skills and Qualifications Acquired from Internship
Self confidence:
During my internship I feel myself more confident because it helps me dealing with
different people of different nature. I was given different task and I have completed
all the tasks effectively and efficiently After gating appreciation on my work my
confidence level bust up after doing my internship and I get my appreciation from my
departments
Decision making and problem solving:
On daily bases there are some quality issues and problem arises etc. During my
Internship I had attended most of the complaints with my seniors, which were arises
from the production departments. I learned from my seniors that how to deal with
different problems and how to solve the problem.
Responsible
Practical life is completely different from the Student life. In student life you are
mostly not more careful but when you come in the practical field that the averment
and expectation of the people around you get different. Therefore responsibility is
necessary in every walk of life.
Behavioral flexibility
During internship I learned so many things which are useful for my professional
carrier therefore I came to know that behavioral flexibility is very important through
which I can achieve my desired outcome level in any learning environment with
positive learning behavior.
43
Skills need to be improved
Communication skills:
My communication skills also improved because mostly I use telephone lines
to communicate with people different departments. Initially I was reluctant to
communicate with strange peoples but during my Internship I communicated with
different people of different mindset and having different levels. But I am still feeling
that I need more improvement.
Impact of Internship on Future Career Path of the Intern
The things which I have learned from this organization will be very helpful in future
as how to work in an organization, how to record and maintain data, how to
communicate, dealing with the customers. I prefer that internship of students must be
considered the best leaning tool of their studies which helps them to learn different
variety of skills in a positive leaning environment.
This internship will help me a lot in order to get a job in a sound organization.
It helped me in determining my expectations in the initial phase of my career. My
internship gave me more courageous in communications that would help me in the
crucial phase of “Interview” in my future professional life.
Overall Comparison between Theory (things you have learned in the classroom)
and Practice
During the tenure of my internship I have done as well as observed many practical
activities and I observed that there is a big difference between the bookish knowledge
and practical work but we cannot deny the importance of theoretical knowledge
because this knowledge provides a base line for practical work.
44
In my opinion practical work is different and more challenging from theoretical work
Things that I have observed at WAPDA are as follows;
 Theoretical knowledge just gives us an idea about an activity but in
practice these activities are more cleared to us by doing them.
 We learn more by the execution of activities in practical
 For every issue or purpose data is kept by the WAPDA whereas in
classroom documentation is not kept or compulsory for each and every
matter.
 In an organization we had to follow the rules and policies strictly
 In WAPDA every employee had to pass departmental promotion
examination and training for the promotion .his ACR (annual confidential
reports) are also evaluated in this regard.
 A complete medium is used for any task where in classroom it is not
compulsory for routine work.
 Every employee ( officers as well as staff) follows the hierarchy of
supervisor or authority
