Message from the Director General

I feel extremely happy to publish our Newsletter. In the Sangam literature Purananuru says that உணவெனப்படுவது நிலத்தொடு நீரே (Unavenapaduvathu Nilathodu Neerae). It means that Food is nothing but Soil and Water. IMTI was established in the year 1984 with the financial assistance from USAID {United States Agency for International Development) under Water Resource Management and Training Programme with an objective to impart need based training to all those involved in irrigated agriculture to achieve higher productivity with optimum use of water. Since then, IMTI is involved in capacity building of officers and farmers by creating awareness about the new technologies and improvements in the fiek of irrigation and management. India has 18% of the world population but only 4% of its Water Resources, which is a fastdepleting natural resources as a result of global warming and wastage. Water is a State subject, which includes water Supply, irrigation, canal, drainage, embankments, water storage and water power.

Tamil Nadu State Water policy’s objective to enhance water governance in the State is a significant step towards improving water management practices. The Tamil Nadu State allocates over 83% of its available water to agriculture followed by domestic use and Industrial use. Tamil Nadu annual water potential ( surface and ground water ) is around 1600 TMC. As per the Dr.Fallenmark’s Index, Tamil Nadu State categorized as water scarce State ( 500-1000 Cum per year per person ). In the above context, the IMTI plays vital role in irrigated agricultural sector to disseminate the technical knowledge, innovative practices, research findings and field experiences in the water resources. IMTI imparts training to around 5000 personnels every year comprising water resources Engineers and Farmers in Modern Irrigation Management Techniques over 100 training programs. Apart from that IMTI can organize training programmes based on the specific requirements of various departments in the field of Remote sensing and GIS Applications, Advanced surveying using DGPS and Drones, Solid and Liquid waste management and Improving Personal Effectiveness through Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). IMTI is committed to provide high-quality training through experienced faculties, practical demonstrations, field exposure and modern training methodologies. In overall IMTI is committed to guide the various Departments to achieve the water security goal for Tamil Nadu State set in State Water Policies and Water Vision@2047 through water governance, water budgeting and management (both supply and demand sides) and circular economy in water sector.
