Vision and Mission
The department undertakes the courses related to irrigation, drainage, soil & water conservation, hydrology & remote sensing and offers degrees of M.Tech. and Ph.D in Soil & Water Engineering other than the courses of B.Tech. Agril. Engineering along with the other departments of the faculty. This department was established in the year 1996 when the faculty of Agricultural Engineering came into being in this University. Although this university used to offer post graduate course in Soil Conservation since 70’s to 1996 under the name of the Department of Agricultural Engineering where most of the teachers of this Department were attached. Since its inception this department is engaged in research and extending expertise support to State Govt. departments viz., Water Resource Investigation & Development Department (WRIDD), WB Agro-Industries Corporation, Dept. of Horticulture etc. The most of the research works have been conducted funded by the State/Central Govt. departments.
The following are some of the areas for undertaken research work
- Micro-irrigation
- Precision water management
- Efficient use of groundwater
- Use of geo-informatics in water management
- Losses of water in irrigation channels
