Strategic Pillars
- Lowland Agricultural Production and productivity Technologies
- Soil Fertility, and Health Management Technologies
- Integrated Watershed Management Technologies
Strategic objectives
- Enhance and strengthen demand-driven irrigation management research targeting sustainable agricultural (crop & livestock) production and productivity through intensive irrigated agriculture as the area coverage of cultivated land under irrigation is expanding
- Promote and strengthen drainage and problematic soils management research targeting effective and sustainable natural resource (SOIL & Water) management as degradation is expanded due to extensive irrigated agriculture
- Build Irrigation and drainage Research Capacity (human, physical and financial)
