Brief description of
institution/organization
Accelerated irrigated land use and optimization
of agriculture production through efficient soil-crop-water management without
resource degradation is essential to meet the food and fibre needs of India's
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 appropriate training of all the
planners, field workers and farmers by a management institute that is well
equipped with the necessary tools and training facilities. The Irrigation
Management and Training Institute, Kota (Rajasthan), fulfils 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. 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.
- Provide consultancy in
irrigation management and irrigated agriculture.
