Welcome!
Get to know about usThe North-East of India is rich in water resources. Amid the plentiful availability of water, there are some states that are having scarcity of water. The Centre for Sustainable Water Research aims in bringing scientific tools to cater the sustainable use of water in the region as well as for the whole country. Modern research methodologies and techniques will be adopted by the Centre for PhD and online M.Tech programs. The courses offered by the Centre can cater the training needs of field engineers in the water sector.
Though the Centre is located in North-East of India, the state-of-art research techniques and courses will be useful nationally and internationally. International collaborations with various water related universities are also aimed and also forging strong research and teaching relations with the South East Asian countries.....
