Hydro power is the most advanced and mature renewable energy provides some level of electricity generation in more than 160 countries of the world. Hydro is a renewable energy source and has the advantages of low greenhouse gas emissions, low operating costs and a high ramp rate (quick response to electricity demand), enabling to be used as either base or peak load electricity generation or both. India ranks 5th in terms of exploitable hydro-potential on global scenario. NHPC (National Hydroelectric Power Corporation Ltd.) is public limited company responsible for harnessing vast Hydro-potential in the country to improve power scenario and in its existence of over twenty-five years NHPC has become the premier organization in India. Baira Suil Power station was the first project of NHPC to go on stream. The aim of training held at BSPS is to get adequate knowledge about hydro power plant and harnessing hydro energy. Hydro power plant captures the energy released by water falling through vertical distance and transforms this energy into useful energy. Likewise at BSPS the falling
