Stage-I (750 MW) Introduction The dam site of the Parbati HE Project (Stage-I) is located at Dibi-Bokhri and the Power House at village Nakthan. The above places are located at distances of approx. 40 Kms and 5 Kms respectively from Pulga i.e. Parbati Stage-II Dam site. Pulga-Nakthan-Dibi-Bokhri area are connected through a kachha track which gets damaged during winter season. During winter months Nakthan and Dibi Bokhri. the path remains mostly under snow and as a result the Dam site of Stage-I is inaccessible and remains cut off during winter months i.e. November to May months. Nearest motorable place is Barshani which is nearly 15 Kms from Manikaran. Manikaran is located at a distance of 35 Kms from Bhuntar town in Distt.Kullu which lies on NH-21 i.e. Chandigarh-Manali road. The airport is at Bhuntar.
Project Features
The project is under initial developmental stage and based on the reconnaissance survey, available hydrological and geological information, HPSEB identified the site and potential and conducted survey in 1: 10000 scale. started discharge measurement and carried out some sub surface explorations. Following are the broad components envisaged for the Parbati HE Project Stage-I A 180 m high (above river bed level) Rockfill Dam at Dibi-Bokhri.

There is a air strip at Bhuntar town which is situated at confluence of rivers Beas and Parbati. The road distance from Bhuntar to dam site and power house is about 51 Km. 41 Km. respectively.
Geology
The Project lies within Lesser Himalaya and is characterized by highly rugged topography. The Project area lies in four distinct rock formations namely Kullu. Manikaran, Banjar and Larji. These rock formations are separated by intervening thrusts like Kullu. Kandi and Garsa etc. The dam complex lies in Gneisses and Schist whereas power house will be constructed in metasediments and metabasics. The head race tunnel will pass through a variety of rocks. viz. gneisses. schist, quartzite and phyllites.
Major Components
Diversion Dam A 85 m high. 113 m long, concrete gravity dam is proposed near village Pulga across Parbati River to divert 145 cumec of water. The reservoir will have a live storage capacity of 3.09 Mcum with gross storage capacity as 6.83 Mcum. This diurnal storage will be sufficient to run power station at full capacity for 4 hours in a day even during lean flow period. The spillway section consisting of three bays is designed to pass a maximum probable flood of 1850 cumec. Further, it is planned to divert the discharge of Jigrai Nalla located just downstream of Pulga diversion dam into the reservoir for augmentation.
For trapping suspended silt particles carried by river, an underground Desilting chamber is proposed to be constructed at the end of approach tunnels.
Power House
The proposed surface power house is located on the right bank of River Sainj near Village Sainj at about 200 m downstream of the confluence of River Sainj and Jiwa Nallah. The power house shall have an installed capacity of 800 MW with four generating units of 200 MW each. Short Tail Race Channels shall discharge the water from Power House to river Sainj.
Cost
The estimated cost for construction of Project is worked out to be Rs. 3708.66 crores +US$11.774 million (1US$=Rs 45.50) at August 2000 price level.

ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE
Organization is a group of people working together cooperatively under authority towards achieving goals & objectives that mutually benefit the participants & the organization.
33
An organization tries to establish an effective behavioral relationship among selected employees & in selected work places in order that a group may work together effectively. There are three kinds of work which must be performed whenever an organization comes into being viz; division of labour, combination of labour and co-ordination i.e. the work, the people and the relationship between them. These are known as the fundamentals in every successful organization. In NHPC these fundamentals are strictly followed while delegating the authority. Organizational structure of NHPC Parbati Project Stage II is described as following.

Definition of Stress:
Dictionary defines stress as pressure, condition causing hardship, disquite. Stress is mentally or emotionally disruptive or disquietening influence. It is unpleasant state of affairs and irritating or annoying condition of mind. It 68
includes anythging that makes us tense, angry, frustrated, or miserable. Thus stress is usually thought of in negative term. It is thought to be caused by something bad. This is known as distress. Hans Selye defined stress as the non-specific response of the body to any demands made upon it. Fred Luthans defined stress as an adaptive response to an external situation that results in physical, psychological, and/or behavioural deviations for organizational participants. Doctors relate stress to disorder or break-down of coping mechanism.
Mechanism of Stress:
Stress is the bodys automatic response to real or imagined dangers and challenges. When under pressure, our bodies release a harmone called adrenaline which, combined with other harmones, allow us to face up to worrying situations. Blood circulates quickly round the body carrying the maximum amount of oxygen to muscles. Blood sugar rises, making extra energy available - so we are ready for action. This is known as Fight or Flight reaction. The heart rate increases, blood pressure rises, breathing quickens, the senses go on full alert. Body prepares us to run for life or fight to the death. Hans Selye presented General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) theory to explain the mechanism of stress. The GAS has three stages: alarm, resistance and exhaustion. The initial alarm reaction indicates that something is wrong somewhere with the system. If stressor continues, GAS moves into the resistance phase in which bio-chemical defences are mobilized to offset the 69
effects of the stressors. It is a stage of maximum adaptation when individual restores the equilibrium. Finally, if the stressor persisats over a long period of time or defence mechanism falters, the adaptive mechanisms may become drained, and exhaustion set in. Result can be illness or even death.
Stressors are the causative factors of Stress. Broadly, there are three kind of stressors: Physical, Social and Psychological. Physical Stressors are external factors including chemicals, pollutants, drugs, poisonous environment, radiation, excessive cold-heat temperature, noise, vibration, humidity...etc. Social Stressors are externally induced and result from the interaction of the individual with the environment. For instance attending parties, giving speech, expressing anger. Family stressors include interaction with family members, disharmony between parents and other members of family, death of member of family. Many social stressors are unavoidable and traumatic. They include occurrences such as the the death of loved one, loss of a job, retirement, change in residence, new financial responsibilities. Pleasant events such as engagement announcements, marriage
ceremonies, birth of a child, financial windfalls can also be social stressors. The unforeseen social stressors are most difficult to cope with even for most stable individuals.
70
Psychological Stressors are often the most damaging ones because of their recurrent nature. These may be brought on by physical or social stressors or they may be self induced. The Psychological stressors are intensive emotions and include the negative ones frustration, guilt, worry, anger, resentment, hate, disgust, jealousy, sadness, fear, anxiety, self-pity, inferiority feelings, feelings of futility and feelings of not being appreciated.
Interpersonal relationship with colleagues, superioors and subordinates from a major source of stress. Poor interactions generate poor human relations as a result of which people experience low trust, low co-operation, low supportiveness and low interest in listening to others.

The various aspects considered while developing research methodology are: After framing the objectives of study, the next step is to generate information necessary and relevant to meet the desired goal. Information is collected through primary source ie. Through the Questionnaire. As the organization is to large so I selected HR Department as a sample from all other departments because on the duration at my training I was more familiar about H.R. department. A pilot study of the sample was done in order to find out the key issues. The sampling frame was constructed in which employee name, their designation, present place of posting, no of dependents and their address was mentioned. Further questions were asked about their personal problems, problems due to official work and working conditions, relation with other employees, livery etc. Questionnaire was designed in such a way that the reel feeling of employees could be received. Sample units were selected at random based upon probability theory. 74

work/duty/superiors etc. Most of the employees are satisfied with their present working condition. Some of them however feel that the organizational culture should be improved. Some employees feel that there present place of posting should be changed. a few employees feel stagnation in their present job because there is no further promotion opportunities for them in N.H.P.C. Security Guards want duty room, telephone facility, light, heater, torch during night shift at Sainj. Majority of employees were reluctant in disclosing their personal problems. However some employees who feel that their efficiency is really affected due to personal problems, were candid in 1heir response. Some employees feel that health problem of their dependents worries them. Some employees feel that they are away from their family and cannot participate in social functions as compared to employees working in o1her govt. departments. 76
They feel homesickness, as 1hey cannot spend time with their family members. Employees, whose children are studying in college, want that bus facility should be provided to their children. They were asked about their relations wi1h peers, subordinates and superiors. Majority of the employees mention 1hat their relation with peers are friendly and cordial. They share feelings and do help each other during their problems. Relation among peers is at satisfactory level in PHEP. Employees have mentioned their relation with superiors as nice and Respectable. They have mentioned their relation with their subordinates as very well. It reflects 1hat relation among employees at different level is satisfactory at PHEP When asked about how their services can be utilized at best. Some employees feel that they can be more effective if more work is assigned to them. They appreciate rotational work and less supervision. By assigning more responsibility they feel satisfied. Some employees feels that their services can be fully utilized if posted near home town, because they feel home sickness and are unable to attend social functions at present. Some employees feel that there should promoted so 1hat could have more job responsibility and more job satisfaction. It is clear that most of the employees want more responsibility and less supervision as compared to what 1hey have been assigned now.
77
