WAPDA Declares HPTI Mangla as Self-Sustainable Unit: Advanced Operator Course Fee Structure Approved:

The Pakistan Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) plays a crucial role in the development and management of Pakistan’s water and power resources. As part of its ongoing commitment to providing high-quality training to its workforce, WAPDA continuously strives to enhance its training infrastructure and make it more sustainable.

This move reflects WAPDA’s ongoing efforts to ensure that its training institutions not only contribute to the development of a skilled workforce but also become financially self-sufficient. To further support this initiative, an important office order has been issued to approve the collection of training charges from participants enrolled in the ongoing Advanced Operator Course, a crucial program designed to enhance the skills of operators in the power generation sector. The training charges are set at Rs. 83,113 per week for each participant, signaling the value and expertise being imparted through this course. This decision underscores WAPDA’s commitment to ensuring the quality of training while also maintaining the financial health of its training institutions. Notification Describes;
