Institute : Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (CWRDM)
Organisation Profile : Recognising the need for catering to the R&D needs in the field of Water Management, the Centre for Water Resources Development and Management (CWRDM) was established as an autonomous research organisation by the Government of Kerala, under its Science and Technology Policy in February 1978. Two of the important personalities behind the establishment of this institute were Sri. C Achutha Menon, former Chief Minister of Kerala and Dr. P K Gopalakrishnan, former Secretary to the Government of Kerala, both of revered memory. The Centre had a steady growth along with its other sister institutes under the umbrella of the State Committee on Science, Technology and Environment.
About WRMTP : CWRDM was given the additional responsibility to serve as one of the Water and Land Management Institutes of India, specially for Kerala, in the late 1980s. Thus, the training of the officials of the Irrigation and other user departments/agencies on water resources management became the additional mandate of CWRDM. The proposal of CWRDM was approved by the CWC and the Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India and financial assistance was provided by USAID till 1995. Later, this programme was renamed as Water Resources Management Training Programme (WRMTP). Presently, the State Government provides financial assistance to run the training programmes. National Courses on relevant topics are also sponsored by the CWC every year.
