 INTRODUCTION

In this technology driven era, knowledge is not just about studying the theoretical aspects, but
also understanding the practical views and implementing it. Industrial training program aims to
achieve industrial exposure and practical skills.
The training program was conducted at KELTRON EQUIPMENT COMPLEX (KEC),
KARAKULAM. This industry belongs to Keltron group of companies, a Government
undertaking company situated at Karakulam which is 14 kms away from Thiruvananthapuram
Central, is definitely a leader in the electronic goods industry. The products they manufactured
are mainly for Government companies,Indian Navy, government departments and many other
private companies. The company has been certified ISO 9001-2008 for design, manufacture
and supply of electronic systems.

 INDUSTRY PROFILE
Electronics and Information Technology is the fastest growing segment of
Indian industry both in terms of production and exports. Today, the
electronics industry is completely relicensed with the exception of
aerospace and defense electronics, and along with the liberalization in
foreign investment and export-import policies of the entire economy, this
sector is attracting considerable interest not only as a vast market but also
as potential production base by international companies.
In recent times, ‘software development and IT enabled services’ have
emerged as a niche opportunity for India in the global context. The
Government is taking all necessary steps to make India, a Global
Information Technology Superpower and a front-runner in the age of
Information Revolution. The Government has announced promotion of
Information Technology as one of the five top priorities of the country and
constituted a National Task Force on Information Technology and Software
Development.
The electrical power industry provides the production and delivery of
electrical power (electrical energy), often known as power. or electricity, in
sufficient quantities to areas that need electricity through a grid. Many
households and businesses need access to electricity, especially in
developed nations, the demand being scarcer in developing nations.
Demand for electricity is derived from the requirement for electricity in
order to operate domestic appliances, office equipment, industrial
machinery and provide sufficient energy for both domestic and commercial
lighting, heating, cooking and industrial processes. Because of this aspect
of the industry, it is viewed as a public utility as infrastructure.
The electrical power industry is commonly split up into four processes.
These are electricity generation such as a power station, electric power
transmission, electricity distribution and electricity retailing. In many
countries, electric power companies own the whole infrastructure from
generating stations to transmission and distribution infrastructure. For this
reason, electric power is viewed as a natural monopoly. The industry is
generally heavily regulated, often with price controls and is frequently
government-owned and operated. The nature and state of market reform of
the electricity market often determines whether electric companies are
able to be involved in just some of these processes without having to own
the entire infrastructure, or citizens choose which components of
infrastructure to patronize. In countries where electricity provision is
deregulated, end-users of electricity may opt for more costly green
electricity. All forms of electricity generation have positive and negative
aspects. Technology will probably eventually declare the most preferred
forms, but in a market economy, the options with less overall costs
generally will be chosen above other sources. It is not clear yet which form
can best meet the necessary energy demands or which process can best
solve the demand for electricity. There are indications that renewable
energy and distributed generation are becoming more viable in economic
terms. A diverse mix of generation sources reduces the risks of electricity
price spikes.

 COMPANY PROFILE

Today, we live in a technology-driven world where speed, flexibility,

intellectual capital development, and networks have become the basis of
value creation - as connectivity and interactive technologies pervade all
business activity. In this technology-driven environment, Keltron finds the
assimilation, adoption and integration of technology in creating innovative
solutions as the very basis of survival. Keltron's success has been in making
technology work rather than inventing it. Keltron has been a catalyst in
making electronics work in almost every aspect of our daily life, since 1973.

 HISTORY

KELTRON’S history is a saga of innovation in electronics. From being a

pioneer in 1973, to the role of a trend-setter today, Keltron has been the
catalysis for the development of electronics industry in Kerala. The tag line
launching a State-owned electronics enterprise, more than a quarter
century ago, read “spearheading an electronics revolution in Kerala”.
Within five years of its inception, Keltron had set up a production centre
in every district of the State. More than 5,000 people were engaged directly
or indirectly by Keltron for the manufacture of electronic goods. The model
of a State-owned electronics corporation was so successful that several
other States in India followed suit; launching their own electronics
corporations. A quarter century later, Keltron after having contributed
substantially to the industrialization of the State, set about transforming
Trivandrum, the capital city of Kerala, into one of the major electronics hubs
of the country.
In June 1973 Mr. K.P.P.Nambiar joined Kerala State Electronics
Development Corporation Limited (KELTRON) as its first Chairman and
Managing Director and its first employee. KELTRON, the brand name Mr.
Nambiar gave to the company, was the first autonomous Corporation in the
State sector in India and this example was emulated by several state
Governments in the country. He led the position as Chairman and Managing
Director from June 1973 to September 1983 and Executive Chairman from
September 1983 to February, 1985.
A strong infrastructure, enterprising team of people, innovative
operational methods, accent on quality and customer-orientation are the
core competencies of the organization which has made things happen all
these years. Large Pool of Experienced Technical Manpower Keltron’s
expertise in high quality manufacturing is the direct result of the highly
skilled, multi-disciplinary team of graduate engineers, project managers and
a skilled workforce with a proven track record in complex precision
manufacturing. Currently, Keltron employs a work force of 2000 of which
400 are Engineers who possess extensive hands-on experience in
technology integration and adoption, high-tech manufacturing operations
and in managing turn-key projects. Man power at Space Electronics section
has been specially trained at Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) in
high-reliability soldering, harnessing and QC. Keltron also provides technical
manpower to major organizations like ONGC and VSSC ,and collaborators
like Hitachi, Japan. Country-wide Sales Network.

Keltron has an All India Sales Network in place with full-fledged Marketing
Offices in Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad,
Ahmedabad and Trivandrum to provide the quickest possible service to
customers. Technology Support At the moment, Keltron has an arrangement
with C-DAC, a research and development organization under the Government
of India, which is located in the Keltron campus, for technology development
and adaptation. An in-house research and department facility along with a
full-fledged Knowledge Centre is in the pipeline and will be implemented
shortly. Strong Infrastructure
