have authorized power connection for agricultural purposes tend
to illegally use power thus leading to power scarcity or not.

14. Observation and Learnings
 Observation: During my study, I observed that in current
financial year (2012-13) there were 4.6 lakhs pending
application seeking electricity connection in farm sector and
the government planned to provide 1 lakh connection to rural
areas but provided just 48,435 connections sanctioned by
PGVCL so far.
 Learnings:
 During my study, I got an opportunity to learn about
team dynamics and its various roles of working in an
organization.
(cont’d)

15. 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.
