National Power Training Institute

You can find the National Power Training Institute over at Jijo Bhavan in Koduvila. It’s part of the East Kallada area in Kollam, Kerala. It’s a nice enough area, quite green compared to the big cities. We handle the training side of the power industry here. The office is in a building that’s been part of the community for a while. It’s not a huge skyscraper, just a functional space where we get things done. Being in 691502, we get people from all over the district coming in. Most days it’s about going through manuals and explaining how the grid works. It isn't always exciting, but it's important work. The weather here in Kerala can be pretty rainy, so we spend a lot of time making sure the roof doesn't leak and the computers stay dry. We have a few rooms for lectures and a bit of space for administrative stuff. We aren't a big corporate office with suits and ties, mostly just regular people in comfortable clothes trying to help others learn. Sometimes the power goes out, which is a bit funny considering what we teach, but that’s just life here. We like being in East Kallada because it’s a bit more relaxed than being right in the middle of a busy city. People usually find us by asking around Jijo Bhavan. We’ve been here long enough that most locals can point you our way without much trouble. We just do our work day by day.
