INTERNSHIP REPORT ON MEPCO

          Christian Novell

As mentioned by the above quotation observing and on site viewing are very firm base for
learning. We learn a lot more by seeing theories, we read in books, applied practically by the
pros and by seeing how they actually put them to work.

If we over the significance of internship program then we will be able to bare the facts that
internship enhance ones practical loom towards work and provide maximum chances for
learning, which will obviously help out candidate in the practical fields. The intention 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 role in the future sensation & stir of the
candidate.

This Report is specially meant for the student of M.com. It is concerned to a brief study of the
operation, Function, tasks and services of MEPCO.

The effective system at MEPCO was a piece of art and to see it in working process was a treat its
elf. 

MEPCO has fine organizational structure and a well defined fully working effective system that
helps and aids managers to do their jobs at best. Our knowledge was further enlightened when
we had some of the lectures from the senior managers of MEPCO, they knew quite a lot about
the organization and the subject and they left no stone unturned.

In preparation of this Report is have tried my best to provide all Possible information about the
operation, function and tasks of MEPCO in brief and comprehensive form. It also includes a
brief department worked during internship. I have also tried my best to use simple and easy
words and language.

This report is an entire work of my first step of practical work about MEPCO operations &
practices. In my view it is a credible and comprehensive compilation of facts. In this report I
wrote principally on the issues pertaining to job duties & responsibilities, operations &
practices and its future prospects with some recommendations.

When the time came to give this information a convenient shape I was confronted with a view of
what to put in. One leeway was to include all details with explanation & second preference was
to point out some worthy issues with some details. Last solution looked more practicable to me
therefore I opt for second solution i.e. to present some relevant feasible details. These details
entail information about management philosophy, practices, and functions, strong and weak
areas of MEPCO.

I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all who helped me in the preparation of this
valuable report.

Then internship report ends with some recommendation after identification of some problems
observed during the course of internship.

teachers whom prayers and hard work made me able to have such an opportunity of working in the

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 MEPCO (Finance) departments being the most productive and
exhilarating experience of my corporate life. Few of the main highlights of my work experience
while at Finance Department were:
 Good Leadership
 Congenial Work Atmosphere

Before the details description of the report I started with the summary of work I had done. The
basic purpose of this summary is to given an idea about the contents and efforts made behind
the completion of the report to the reader.

It was assigned me to visit the MEPCO to view the working environment, function, procedures
and behavior of doing work. Internship was started from 11-01-2011 and end on 10-03-2011,
this period was the real experience of my life and I saw the setup, working process and formal
documentation of the MEPCO.

The MEPCO is a very big organization with several departments in working in the head office.
The human resource department which deals with the internees has assigned me MEPCO
Khanewal Road Multan for 8 weeks. MEPCO gives me the opportunity to view, how the books of
accounts are prepared, how to fill the different forms, how to behave with customers and about
the record keeping. I worked in different section of MEPCO and learned about distribution
system of MEPCO, technical correspondence between departments and flow of data between
departments. Here staff gives me opportunity to do practical work. It was a really nice
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. I have given more than 100% of my efforts to keep up that good work and I am sure that my
colleagues have done the same. I am hopeful that as we pass through the corridors of this great

the task of managing the transition of WAPDA from a bureaucratic structure to a
corporate, commercially viable and productive entity. It is a mammoth task and
progress in the initial months was rather slow, but one should keep in mind that
responsibility is enormous and transition is a long drawn process.

Before going into further details of the restructuring program, it is necessary to


understand the shift in the GOP policy. The GOP, in line with its Strategic Plan of 1992
approved by the cabinet committee, in its MEPCO decided into three regions (GENCOS,
IPPs, and NTDC) and to restructure the entire power sector in the country

 De-regulation of power sector

been unbundled into 12 Companies for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.

commercialization and eventually privatization.

LIMITATIONS
 No proper arrangement for electricity they have dames and generators but they are not
work according to the requirement of the MEPCO.
 Sometime MEPCO employee create tens environment in the MEPCO due to their non
cooperative behavior.
 They have provided me knowledge about MEPCO but not according to the requirement
of internship due to much work load on the employees.
 Expensive Furnance Oil is major cause of Expensive Electricity.

OBSERVATIONS
 I have observers that there is need of improvement in the MEPCO Departments working
who still use manual systems.
 Some time the employee doesn’t cooperate with customer they must have needed to
cooperate with customers to create good relationship with them.
 I have also observe that there is no proper dress court of employee in the divisions so,
they have need to follow proper dress court
 I have observed that there is need of safety department or some safety precaution for
employees of MEPCO.
 I also observed one thing that Departments and sections not obey the Audit Committees
that cause the negligence of Misuse data.

SUGGESTION
The following are some suggestions about the MEPCO.

 Management should try creating more understanding between different departments to


increase their productivity.
 The top management should give the authority and flexibility to every manager to make
decisions according to the situation at any time and in the absence of the top manager.
 A proper training should be given to the employees and the workers to enhance their
skills to increase their productivity and utility of the MEPCO.
 All the duties and responsibilities of the employees and the workers should be clearly
defined.
 The computer technology should also be used in decision making as well as in storing
and feeding the data. There should be decentralization in decision making.
 The management should recruit right person for right job.
 The management should here multi skilled workers to get economy of scales.

CONCLUSION
I got a lot of experience in MEPCO. During my internship I come to know that the different
units are working under one umbrella. I have noticed that they are getting the benefits by
minimizing different costs which earlier they were paying due to lack of technology of
computer.

The MEPCO has latest technology for its services and they are serving the local market very
well. MEPCO has open door policy for all tackle all problems upfront. And May be The
Import Electricity Ships decrease load shedding. If Govt. examines the Audit committees
then wastage should be decrease. Merit, justice, fair play be the hallmark Transparency in all
fields Accountability of everyone.
