Tool bit and consumables

There are few tool bits in lab and more need to be bought.

Machines were found to be in either working or not working condition just on the basis of visual
inspection and on past records given by Sita Ram Sir. We were unable to operate during our
inspection because of power cut. In order to know the present condition of all machines we need
to call an operator. After knowing the operating condition of all machines it can be used for
training purpose and if it is not in working condition it needs to be repair accordingly.

Plumbing and Sanitation

There are few simple equipment regarding plumbing of G.I. pipe. There are some pipe fittings
found in lab. Three months training has already been conducted to Upper Tamakoshi and NEA
employee under supervision of Sita Ram sir. With more advanced level plumbing training for
PVC pipe can be continued to NEA employee. Valve maintenance training can also be very
fruitful in operation maintenance program.

Air Conditioning (A/C)

There is not any equipment regarding A/C training. A/C training can be given in Global
Technical Institute situated in premises of Lalitpur Valley College, Jawulakhel Lalitpur as done
in past days.

Recommendation

Mechanical Lab can also be given to private institute in order to conduct their practical classes
when there are no training program, which can be beneficial to training centre and machine will
also be in continuous operating condition.

One complete A/C system needs to be established here. If A/C training can be conducted here, it
will be more fruitful along with the utilization of manpower and resources.
