In our country 45% of electric power consumed is by pumps.  Agriculture pumps use more than one third of total electric power consumed. Due to improper selection, installation and maintenance of not so efficient pumpsets, these pumps waste almost 50% of their consumed energy.  A rough estimate shows that Rs.10000 crores per year worth of electric power is wasted.  Roughly half of the agricultural pumpsets are made in Coimbatore by more than 300 small industry and the castings obtained from about 600 cupola foundries. In order to help the industries to improve on this situation, SPI came into existence during 1995 as a four year project with technical and financial assistance from United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)\/United Nations Industrial Development Organisation  (UNIDO), Government of India and Government of Tamil Nadu.  The objectives of the project is to enhance the capabilities of Si\u2019Tarc in the functional areas of design, testing, prototyping, tooling, applied research, consultancy, information services and training to serve small scale pumpset manufacturers and consumers.  \n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1791078 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1791078\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe project is managed by a Project Steering Committee and Project Implementation Committee consisting of members representing, Govt. of India, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Govt. of Tamil Nadu and industry members.  \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cf25024 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cf25024\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe project started functioning during 1995.
