SJVN partners with IIT Patna to improve Tunneling Project Performance using Advanced Geological Models

SJVN Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology Patna (IIT Patna) to use advanced geological models in SJVN’s tunnelling projects, thus significantly reducing time and cost overruns.

One of the key outcomes of this partnership will be the development of predictive analytics algorithms. These algorithms, leveraging integrated geotechnical data, will forecast potential risks and provide early warning systems specifically tailored for tunnelling projects. Such proactive measures are expected to substantially mitigate time and cost overruns during project execution.

Chairperson & Managing Director, SJVN, Smt. Geeta Kapur said that the primary focus of the MoU is to develop cutting-edge methodologies which integrate diverse geotechnical data sources. These would include geological surveys, borehole data, geophysical measurements and monitoring data from projects of SJVN.

The collaboration also aims to evaluate the intricate relationship between overburden and deformation, thereby enhancing the evaluation and design of support systems crucial for tunnelling projects. By harnessing integrated geotechnical data and 3D geological models, SJVN and IIT Patna aim to identify and analyze potential risks and hazards.

The MoU has been signed in the presence of Director (Finance), SJVN, Shri A.K Singh and Director, IIT Patna Shri T.N Singh in New Delhi on April 2, 2024. CGM (Civil), Shri R.K Gupta; GM (Finance), Shri Jitender Yadav; GM (Civil), Shri Hemant Kumar Shaklya; and GM (Geology), Shri Akshay Acharya from SJVN, and Professor A. K. Verma from IIT Patna were also present on the occasion of the signing ceremony.

EMPOWERING INDIA’S FUTURE |THE REMARKABLE JOURNEY OF SJVN LIMITED AND AKHILESHWAR SINGH

SJVN Limited, a prominent player in India’s power generation industry, has been a beacon of sustainable energy since its inception on May 24, 1988. Established as a joint venture between the Government of India and the Government of Himachal Pradesh, SJVN has evolved into a listed company with a robust shareholder base. Currently, the company’s ownership stands at 59.92% with the Government of India, 26.85% with the Government of Himachal Pradesh, and the remaining 13.23% held by the public. With a paid-up capital of Rs. 3,929.80 Crore and an authorized capital of Rs. 7,000 Crore, SJVN boasts a substantial net worth of Rs. 13,821.97 Crore as of March 31, 2023.

Akhileshwar Singh, the Director of Finance at SJVNL Limited, is a pivotal figure in the company’s journey. With 35 years of experience as a pioneering advocate for solar energy, Singh has played a crucial role in SJVN’s success story.

Diverse Portfolio and Green Initiatives

SJVN Limited is primarily engaged in the business of electricity generation and tariff regulation. The company offers a diverse range of products and services, including electricity generation from hydro, wind, and solar sources, consultancy services, and power transmission. Its operations encompass thermal power, hydro power, wind power, solar power, power transmission, consultancy, and power trading.

Recently, SJVN Green Energy secured a Letter of Awards from the Assam Power Development Corporation (APDCL) for three solar power projects, totaling 320 MW in capacity. These projects are expected to generate a cumulative 628 million units in their first year of operation and approximately 14,591 million units over 25 years. With an estimated construction cost of Rs. 1,900 Crores, the projects are scheduled to be commissioned by March 2025. The commissioning of these projects will contribute significantly to reducing carbon emissions by 7.14 lakh tonnes, aligning with the government’s mission to combat climate change.

A Vision for the Future

SJVN Limited has set ambitious goals for the future, driven by its vision to become a globally admired Indian Power Company known for delivering affordable clean power and sustainable value to all stakeholders. With a mission focused on socio-economic growth and optimizing shareholders’ and stakeholders’ interests, SJVN aims to achieve a remarkable milestone: a 50,000 MW installed capacity by 2040.

Akhileshwar Singh emphasized the company’s commitment to aligning with the Honorable Prime Minister’s vision of generating 500 GW from non-fossil sources by 2030. Under the dynamic leadership of Sh. Nand Lal Sharma, SJVN has re-engineered its business model, setting targets of 5,000 MW by 2023, 25,000 MW by 2030, and the ultimate goal of 50,000 MW by 2040.

Investing in the Future

SJVN’s commitment extends to harnessing energy in Uttar Pradesh, with plans to invest around Rs. 30,000 to 35,000 crore in the next 5-6 years. This strategic investment is poised to make a substantial impact on the energy landscape of the state and further propel SJVN’s mission of providing clean and affordable power to the nation.

The Journey of Akhileshwar Singh

Akhileshwar Singh’s journey to becoming the Director of Finance at SJVN Limited is nothing short of inspiring. Starting his career in 1987 with Hindustan Paper Corporation Limited, he joined SJVN in 1993 as a Senior Finance Officer. His remarkable ascent through the ranks, from Assistant Manager to Head of Internal Audit, culminated in his appointment as Director of Finance in 2020. Singh’s dedication, vision, and expertise have been instrumental in shaping SJVN’s trajectory toward sustainable energy and growth.

A Visionary Leader

When asked about his approach as Director of Finance, Akhileshwar Singh cited his study of the growth stories of two major power sector PSUs – NTPC and NHPC. He analyzed their trajectories, examining how NTPC had grown to generate 70,000 MW of power, while NHPC focused on 7,000 MW. Singh probed into the factors, including technological changes and the complexities of developing hydro projects, that impacted the power sector. 

He also explored the emergence of storage in solar power, cost competitiveness in various forms of power generation, and crafted a strategic roadmap for SJVN to remain at the forefront of the industry.

As India continues its journey towards sustainable energy and reducing carbon emissions, SJVN Limited, under the stewardship of leaders like Akhileshwar Singh, stands ready to play a pivotal role in shaping a cleaner and brighter future for the nation. With its commitment to innovation and sustainable practices, SJVN is a shining example of India’s progress in the realm of clean and renewable energy.

RAMLOK TEMPLE|PERFECT BLEND OF DIVINITY AND SACRAL ARCHITECTURE

India boasts an abundance of destinations that remain unexplored by many, offering a wealth of opportunities for those seeking untouched beauty and culture.

 

Whether you venture east, west, north, or south, you’ll encounter places that have yet to succumb to commercialization.

Allow us to introduce you to one such hidden treasure: Ramlok Temple, located in Sadhupul, a place you simply must include in your travel itinerary for your next vacation.

 

This temple will captivate you with its unspoiled allure and profound cultural significance.

 

India, a diverse nation, has something unique to offer every traveler, be it leisure, spirituality, adventure, or culture. To ensure that tourism provides a valuable and enriching experience for both international and domestic visitors, certain priorities must be  addressed.

Developing unexplored tourist spots, such as Ramlok Temple, requires investments in public transportation and essential infrastructure to enhance tourism. Reliable transport options, well-maintained roads, efficient traffic management systems, and associated maintenance play pivotal roles in boosting the economy of rural areas, contributing significantly to the overall development of a country or state.

India’s forthcoming role as the host of the G20 summit holds tremendous potential. The primary objective of this global forum is to address complex challenges, and the development of rural areas and rural tourist destinations can directly or indirectly contribute to the growth of tourism, eco-tourism, and the economy.

The Divine Himalayan Sage: Swami Amardev

In the words of Vedic literature, “Moksha Mulam Guroh Kripa” or “The root of liberation is the Grace of the Guru.” In our fast-paced world, the spiritual path followed by the ancient sages of India remains of paramount importance.

The journey of humans toward God, through spiritual practices, holds great significance. In India, there are revered sages who, through their dedicated sadhna (spiritual practice) and mantras, have attained profound mental and spiritual powers. Among them is Swami Amardev, the founder of the renowned Ram Lok Temple in Sadhupul, District Solan, Himachal Pradesh.

Swami Amardev is a revered Hindu Monk, Yogi, and Guru who has illuminated the lives of thousands through his teachings. His work has enabled people to overcome distractions and find inner peace. He is affectionately known as Guruji.

Swami Amardev is a divine and spiritual soul, a guiding light, hailing from the Rajgharana family of Rajasthan. His teachings emphasize a moral code of love, forgiveness, charity, contentment, inner peace, and devotion to God and Guru. He is on a path to elevate human life to a divine existence.

Devotees from far and wide visit Ram Lok Temple to seek blessings from Swami Amardev Ji Maharaj. Saints are considered the sagun (manifest) form of God, embodying His qualities and wisdom.

Swami Amardev treats all visitors equally, whether they are politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen, or ordinary individuals. His commendable contribution to the construction of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya is widely acknowledged. He has conducted live sessions on Aastha Channel and has received numerous accolades, including the Shri Ram Rattan Samaan Award and the Mahatma Gandhi Samaan Award in London. His dedication to Ram Lok Temple has earned appreciation from the President of India and other dignitaries. Notably, Ramlok Temple, constructed from octo-alloy, is a unique marvel in India and is listed in the World Book of Records.

Despite his numerous achievements, Swami Amardev remains humble, leading a yogi’s life in a small hut within the temple premises. He has dedicated his entire life to the devotion of Shri Ram.

Naglok Temple

Another remarkable feature of Ram Lok Temple is the Naglok Temple, a one-of-a-kind architectural marvel in India. This temple is constructed from an astounding 1.25 crore bricks and stands tall at a height of 450 feet. It houses 8 clans, 26 species, as well as Shesha Naag and the Maharani of Nagas (Serpents), making it a truly extraordinary spiritual site to behold.
