The Directorate General of Training (DGT) under Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship offers a range of vocational training courses catering to the need of different sectors of economy/ Labour market. The vocational training programmes are delivered under the aegis of Directorate General of Training (DGT). Craftsman Training Scheme (CTS)with variants and Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS) are two pioneer schemes of DGT for strengthening vocational training.

Pump Operator cum Mechanic trade under CTS is one of the popular courses delivered nationwide through a network of ITIs. The course is of one-year duration. It mainly consists of Domain area and Core area. The Domain area (Trade Theory & Practical) imparts professional skills and knowledge, while Core area (Workshop Calculation and science, Engineering Drawing and Employability Skills)imparts requisite core skill, knowledge and life skills. After passing out of the training program, the trainee is awarded National Trade Certificate (NTC) by DGT which is recognized worldwide.

Trainees broadly need to demonstrate that they are able to:

• Read & interpret technical parameters/documentation, plan and organize work processes, identify necessary materials and tools;
• Perform work with due consideration to safety rules, Govt. Bye laws and environmental protection stipulations;
• Apply professional skill, knowledge & employability skills while performing jobs.
• Check the components as per drawing for functioning, identify and rectify errors in components.
• Document the technical parameters related to the work undertaken.

JOB ROLE

Pump-Station Operator, Waterworks; operates pumping equipment to transfer raw water to treatment plant, or distribute processed water to residential, commercial, and industrial establishments: Turns valves, pulls levers, and flips switches to operate and control turbine- or motor-driven pumps that transfer water from reservoir to treatment plant, or to transfer processed water to consumer establishments. Reads flow meters and gauges to regulate equipment according to water consumption and demand. Inspects equipment to detect malfunctions, such as pump leaks or worn bearings. Repairs and lubricates equipment, using hand tools. Records data, such as utilization of equipment, power consumption, and water output in log. May operate equipment to treat and process raw water. May test water for chlorine content, alkalinity, acidity, or turbidity.

Pump Man (Petroleum Refining); controls pumps and manifold systems to circulate crude semi compressed and finished petroleum products, water and chemical solutions through processing and storage departments of refinery according to schedules or instructions and plans movement of product through lines of processing and storage unit, utilizing knowledge of interconnections and capacities of pipelines, valve manifolds, pumps and tanks. Synchronizes activities with other pump houses to assure continuous flow of products and minimum contamination between products. Starts battery of pumps, observes pressure and flow meter and turns valve to regulate pumping speeds according to schedules. Turns hand wheels to open line valves to direct flow of product. Signals by telephone to operate pumps in designed units to open and closed pipeline and tank valves and to gauge, sample and determine temperature of tank contents. Records operating data, such as products and quantities pumped, stocks used, gauging results and operating time. May blend oil and gasoline. May repair pumps, lines and auxiliary equipment.
