Accelerated irrigated land use and optimization of agriculture production through efficient soil-crop-water management without resources degradation is essential to meet food and fibre need of the India's ever increasing population. Sustained and increased agriculture production is possible only through an Integrated Participatory Development Approach where all concerned are dedicated to Nation development. This entails need of appropriate training to all the planners, field workers and farmers by a management institute, well equipped with necessary tools and training facilities. Irrigation Management and Training Institute, Kota (Rajasthan) fulfills this requirement. The Institute was established in August, 1984 under the Water Resources Management and Training (WRMT) Project assisted by the United States Agency for International Development Programme. Its main objectives are: Training the in-service personnel of Irrigation and Agriculture Departments and farmers in irrigation management through regular courses, workshops and seminars, to improve their job performance to optimize agriculture production in the irrigated areas; Providing consultancy in irrigation management and irrigated agriculture. |
