                 Central Design Directorate was 
                established at Lucknow in the year 1961 for the specific need of 
                undertaking the designs of major hydro projects. To facilitate 
                the works of Tehri Dam Project a Design Circle was transferred 
                from Lucknow to Roorkee in the year 1971. To cater the need of 
                new multipurpose projects which were coming up for execution, 
                particularly in the Yamuna and Ganga Valley located in the 
                central Himalayan region, presently in Uttranchal, were also 
                assigned to this circle resulting in the creation of Irrigation 
                Design Organisation by expanding the only one Circle to ten 
                Circles under two Chief Engineers in the year 1978 at Roorkee.
                 
                The Irrigation Design Organisation 
                has been serving the state for the last three decades by 
                undertaking the planning and preparation of efficient and 
                econimical detailed designs and construction drawings of various 
                multipurpose, hydroelectric and Irrigation projects with the 
                help of well established infrastructure based on modern 
                techniques.  |

                Station was established at the organisation in the year 1990 
                with the basic purpose of developing computer draughting 
                facility. The Centre is the first of its kind in the combined 
                U.P. and uttarakhand Irrigation Department to start preparing 
                computerised technical drawings. More than 300 drawings have 
                been prepared with the computers.  |
