                 The department was established in 1955 as an 
                Asian African Centre to honour India's commitment at the Asian 
                African Conference held in Bandung. The department offers 
                application based Postgraduate Degree programmes in Water 
                Resources Development and Irrigation Water Management primarly 
                for imparting training to in-service Engineers (Civil, 
                Electrical and Mechanical) and Agricultural Scientists. 
                Sponsorship from the organisation is essential for obtaining 
                admission to various programmes in the department. A balanced 
                blend of academicans and field engineers in the faculty with 
                long experience in planning, design, construction, operation, 
                and maintenance of water resources and hydropower projects help 
                in implementation of application oriented academic programmes. 
                The department is actively involved in research, development and 
                extension activities in the areas of water resources, hydropower 
                and irrigation management. The department provides consultancy 
                services for irrigation, flood control, drainage, groundwater 
                development and power sectors. The objective of the Department 
                is to develop mainpower that can take the responsibility of 
                sustainable development and environment friendly management of 
                the available water resources. Non-conventional methods for 
                utilisation of water such as cropping system modeling & 
                planning, inter-basin transfer, ground water recharge through 
                rainwater harvesting are espepecially incorporated in the course 
                curricula. The department has so far trained over 2579 in 
                service engineers and agriculutral scientists from 50 countries 
                including India.  |
