Government plans to establish renewable energy capacity of 500 GW by 2030.
Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana-Saubhagya was launched by Government of India with an
aim to achieve universal household electrification by March 2019.
In September 2018, a draft amendment to Electricity Act, 2003 was introduced. It discussed separation of
content & carriage, direct benefit transfer of subsidy, 24*7 power supply as an obligation, penalisation on
violation of PPA, setting up smart meter and prepaid peters along with regulations related to the same.
Ujwal Discoms Assurance Yojana (UDAY) was launched by the Government to encourage operational
and financial turnaround of State-owned Power Distribution Companies (DISCOMS) with an aim to

In August 2018, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy set solar power tariff cap at Rs. 2.50 (US$
0.04) and Rs. 2.68 (US$ 0.04) units, respectively, for developers using domestic and imported solar cells
and modules.
Government of India approved National Policy on Biofuels-2018. Benefits of this policy were health
benefits, cleaner environment, employment generation, reduced import dependency, boost to
infrastructural investment in rural areas and additional income to farmers.
2.5 ACHIEVEMENTS
Following are the achievements of the Government in the past four years:
In the first half of November 2020, India's power consumption increased 7.8% to 50.15 billion units
(BU), indicating an improvement in economic activity, according to government data. According to data
from the power ministry, power consumption in the country was registered at 46.52 BU between
November 1 and November 15 last year.
Energy generation from thermal sources stood at 472.90 billion units (BU) in April-September 2020.
In April 2020, NTPC Vindhyachal became the largest power plant in the country to achieve a plant load
factor (PLF) of 100%.
India’s rank jumped to 22 in 2019 from 137 in 2014 on World Bank’s Ease of doing business - "Getting
Electricity" ranking.
Energy deficit reduced to 0.7% in FY20 from 4.2% in FY14.
Over 353 million LED bulbs were distributed to consumers in India by Energy Efficiency Services
Limited (EESL) under Unnati Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All (UJALA) in July 08, 2019. 11.17 million
LED bulbs were sold by private players till March 2019.
As of April 28, 2018, 100% village electrification was achieved under Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram
Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY).
2.6 THE ROAD AHEAD
The Government of India has released its roadmap to achieve 227 GW capacity in renewable energy
(including 114 GW of solar power and 67 GW of wind power) by 2022. The Union Government of India is
preparing a 'rent a roof' policy for supporting its target of generating 40 gigawatts (GW) of power through
solar rooftop projects by 2022.
Coal-based power-generation capacity in India, which currently stands at 199.5 GW, is expected to witness
total installed capacity addition of 47.86 GW by 2022.
West Bengal, is an Indian state that lies in the eastern part of India and in the Gangatic plains. It is the third
largest economy in India. Being itself a centre of agriculture and huge reserves of minerals, it constitutes
one tenth of the Indian market.
West Bengal also has a prosperous hinterland of some mineral rich states like Jharkhand, Bihar and Orissa.
Asansol is a coal mining area and Durgapur is a hub of power plants and the state is proximal to many
other coal reserves as well. Government of West Bengal has initiated power sector reforms in 2005 with
the restructuring of West Bengal State Electricity Board into a distribution company and a transmission
company in 2007. West Bengal shows certain promising signs for better energy situation in the state
because of its financially viable power sector, energy surplus situation and its easy accessibility. However,
there are certain shortcomings like despite its almost 100% village electrification, the state's 42% rural
households are still without electricity.
Acquiring land for power projects is another problem that the state is facing.
Given this backdrop, the state has an opportunity in the form of renewable energy, which can utilize the
natural and geographic conditions to the fullest while not being much affected by the pitfalls that the state
faces at this moment and can improve its energy situation.
RES: Renewable Energy Sources (include: small hydro, biogas, biomass, waste and wind energy)
Significant efficiency gains have been made by the state distribution utility in last few years and
distribution loss has been reduced from 34.4%in FY 2004 to 22.8% in FY 2009. Additional 2,470 MW
generation capacity has been added in State Sector at the end of FY 09. The additional capacity has helped
the sector in meeting the increased demand for electricity in West Bengal and also trade surplus energy.
The other Central and Power sector entities like Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) and CESC have also
been making generation investments.
The government of West Bengal has come up with an innovative concept of Power Banks where in the
excess generated power is being accumulated for future use.

LITERATURE REVIEW
4.1 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
MEANING
Employee satisfaction is a measure of how happy workers are with their job and working environment.
Keeping morale high among workers can be tremendous benefit to any organization, as happy workers will
be likely to benefit to any company. There are many factors for maintaining high employee satisfaction,
which wise employers would do will to implement.
EMPLOYEE SATISFACTION
To increase employee satisfaction, many companies will have mandatory survey or face to face meeting
either employees to gather information. Both of these tactics have pros and cons and should be chose
carefully. Surveys are often annoying allowing workers more freedom to be honest without fear. Interview
with company management can feel intimating but if done carefully can let to workers know their voice
has been heard and their concern addressed by those in changes. Surveys and meetings can truly got the
center of data surrounding employee satisfaction and can be great tools to identify specific problems
leading to lowering morale.
Many experts believe that one of the best ways to maintain employee satisfaction is to make workers feel
they are part of the family or team. Holding Office Events such as parties and group outings can help close
bonds among workers. Many companies also participate in team building retreats that are designed
strengthen the working relationship of the employers in the non-working related settings. Company trips,
pain ball wars and guided back parking trips are versions of this type of team building strategy, with which
many employees have founded success.
Of course, few will not experience a boost in morale after receiving more and many raises and bonuses can
seriously affect employee satisfaction and should be given when possible. Yet money cannot solve all
morale issues and of a company with wide spread problems for workers cannot improve their overall
improvement, a bonus may be quickly forgotten as daily stress of an unpleasant job continuous to mount.
If possible, provide amenities to your workers to improve morale. Make sure they have a comfortable,
learn, break, rooms which basic necessities such as a running mates keep facilities such as clean bathroom
stocked with supplies. While professionalism is necessary for most business allowing workers to keep
family photos or small trinkets on their desk can make them fed more comfortable and nested at their
workstation. Basic consideration like these can improve employee satisfaction, as workers will fed well
asked for by their employers.
The backbone of employee satisfaction in respect for workers and the job they perform. In every
interaction with management, employees should be treated with courtesy and interest. In easy avenue for
employers to discuss problems, with upper management should be maintained and carefully monitored.
Even if management cannot meet all the demands of employees. Showing workers that they are being
heard and putting honest dedications into compromising will often help to improve morale.

TRAINING
Training is the format and systematic modification of behavior. Which occurs as a result of education,
introduction development and planned experience.
JOB SECURITY
It is the probability that an individual will keep his or her job. A job with a high level of job security in
such that a person with the job would have a small chance of become employees.
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Communication is a process in defined and shared between diving organisms. Communication requires a
sender, a message and need not be present as aware of the senior’s intent to communicate at the time of
communication thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication
requires that the communicating panics share an area of communication.
WORK SCHEDULE
Employees work schedules vary from full fill time lo part time to job shares. All work schedules have one
thing in common; the employee is doing work under an employer. Today's employers understand that
flexibility is what employee requires in their work schedules. If they don't employers should beware.
4.2 LITERATURE REVIEW
The history of job satisfaction stems back to the early 1900’s with the situationist perspective on job
satisfaction. This perspective states that satisfaction is determined by certain characteristics of the job and
characteristics of the job environment itself. This view has been present in the literature since the first
studies by Hauser, Taylor and the various projects at the Western Electric plants in Hawthorne (Cranny,
Smith & Stone 1992). These studies follow the assumption that when a certain set of job conditions are
present a certain level of job satisfaction will follow. The Hawthorne Studies are considered to be the most
important investigation of the human dimensions of industrial relations in the early 20th century. They
were done at the Bell Telephone Western Electric manufacturing plant in Chicago beginning in 1924
through the early years of the Depression. The Hawthorne plant created an Industrial Research Division in
the early 1920’s. Personnel managers developed experiments to explore the effects of various conditions of
work on morale and productivity (Brannigan & Zwerman 2001). “Today, reference to the “Hawthorne
Effect” denotes a situation in which the introduction of experimental conditions designed to identify salient
aspects of behavior has the consequence of changing the behavior it is designed to identify. The initial
Hawthorne effect referred to the observation that the productivity of the workers increased over time with
every variation in the work conditions introduced by the experiments” (Brannigan & Zwerman 2001).
Simply stated when people realize that their behavior is being watched they change how they act. The
development of the Hawthorne studies also denotes the beginning of applied psychology, as we know it
today. These early studies mark the birth of research on job satisfaction relating to ergonomics, design and
productivity.
One of the most popular and researched measures of job satisfaction is the Job Descriptive Index (JDI).
“The JDI is a 72-item adjective checklist type questionnaire developed by Smith, Kendall, and Hulin in
1969” (Gregson, 1991). This measure basis itself on five facets of job satisfaction. The first facet is the
work itself, satisfaction with work itself is measured in terms of the core job characteristics such as
autonomy, skill variety, feedback, task identity, and task significance (Hackman & Oldham, 1975).
Supervision, the second facet, is measured in such ways as how supervisors provide feedback, assess
employee’s performance ratings, and delegate work assignments.
Coworkers, the third facet, are measured in terms of social support, networking, and possible benefits
attached to those relationships (Cranny, Smith & Stone, 1992). Pay, the fourth facet, is an important source
of satisfaction because it provides a potential source of self-esteem as well as the generic opportunity for
anything money can buy (Brockner, 1988). Obviously satisfaction with pay is measured primarily by
current income but also by opportunities for salary increases. Promotion is the final facet and the one that
the JDI explicitly assesses how perceptions about the future can affect job satisfaction. Today the facets of
the JDI are generally assessed by modifying the adjective checklist and using a Likert scale on statements
such as, “opportunities for advancement are plentiful” measured from one (strongly disagree) to five
(strongly agree) (Cranny, Smith & Stone, 1992).
Another popular and highly researched measure of job satisfaction is the Minnesota Satisfaction
Questionnaire (MSQ). The MSQ can be scored for twenty facets; scores from one question for each facet
provide a single overall composite score. The MSQ is commonly used in conjunction with the Minnesota
Importance Questionnaire (MIQ). “These instruments were designed for use with adult career counseling
clients with work experience. They are particularly useful for clients that might be called “career
changers,” that is, adults with considerable work experience in one or more chosen occupations who are
dissatisfied with their work and remain undecided about their career future” (Thompson & Blain, 1992).
A study conducted in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas reported similarities among workers. “10,339
workers were surveyed across 10 European countries, Russia, Japan, and the United States. Researchers
consistently identified the same top five key attributes in a job: ability to balance work and personal life,
work that is truly enjoyable, security for the future, good pay or salary and enjoyable co-workers. Across
the four major geographic regions studied, workers specifically emphasized the importance of potential
advancement and the opportunity to build skills as a way to maintain employability and job security”
(Yankelovich Partners, 1998 p.42).
A survey polling members of the Association for Investment Management and Research found that 81% of
the managers said they were satisfied or very satisfied with their job. When asked to identify the factors
that create positive feelings about their job, most managers named professional achievement, personal or
professional growth, the work itself and their degree of responsibility more important than compensation.
Factors they viewed as creating negative feelings about their jobs were company policies, administration,
relationships with supervisors, compensation and the negative impact of work on their personal lives
(Cardona, 1996, p.9). In order to decrease some of these negative feelings and increase productivity it has
been proposed to reduce the number of work days employees miss by increasing job satisfaction,
redesigning disability plans and involving supervisors in management (Maurice, 1998, p.13).
Other research indicates that customer satisfaction and loyalty are excellent predictors of profitability…the
strongest predictors of customer satisfaction: employees’ general satisfaction with their jobs and
employees’ satisfaction with their work/life balance” (McDonald & Hutcheson, 1999, p.18). Again it’s
important to note that job satisfaction is subject to change. “Results of studies comparing differences
between age groups and level of job satisfaction report an increases in job satisfaction with age” (Osipow,
1968).
“From an employee’s standpoint, job satisfaction is a desirable outcome in itself. From a managerial or
organizational effectiveness standpoint, job satisfaction is important due to its impact on absenteeism (1)
turnover, (2) and pro-social “citizenship” behaviors such as helping coworkers, helping customers, and
being more cooperative. (3) Thus, to redesign jobs, reward systems, and human resource management
policies that will result in optimum job satisfaction and productivity, managers need to know what
employees value” (Karl & Sutton, 1998, p.515). In order to know what employees value it is necessary for
organizations to assess and pay attention to current levels of job satisfaction.
Current studies on job satisfaction are plentiful with some interesting results. In one study the relationship
among career experience, life satisfaction, and organizational factors for managers of healthcare
organizations is explored. Within this study a two-stage Delphi analysis of American College of Healthcare
Executives (ACHE) members identified nine domains of important job skills, knowledge, and abilities
necessary for Success as healthcare managers. The nine domains, ranked in order of importance, are
cost/finance, leadership, professional staff interactions, healthcare delivery concepts, accessibility, ethics,
quality/risk management, technology, and marketing.

7.3 CONCLUSION
As a part of our project work, I got an opportunity to analyze the working of WBSEDCL which helped as
to convert our theoretical knowledge into practical.
The present study is an earnest attempt to determine employee’s satisfaction in WBSEDCL. It is indeed
necessary for any organization to understand the need of their employees and fulfill them before they leave
the organization. If nothing is done by the organization then there are chances to lose talented employees
from any organisation to its competitors. Hence it is necessary for any organization to ensure employees
satisfaction.
From the study it was identified that the most of the employees are not satisfied with the job. Majority of
the employees are not satisfied with the salary structure, promotional programs, working condition,
allowances provided by the organization. They are also dissatisfied with the employer-employee
relationship and communication channel in the organization. But still only 16% of the employees get
opportunities to participate in decision making. Also, majority of the employees are not provided with the
welfare measures. If the firm concentrates of the findings and suggestions of their survey, we hopefully
believe that the organization can further bring out their labor with full satisfaction and obtain good result.
