Science & Technology
Whatever expertise gained by the Institute through interactions and research & development activities is disseminated through various technology transfer activities to user organisations. Main activities include, organisation of workshops, training courses, seminar and symposia etc. at NIH head quarters, it's regional centres and other places covering almost all states. NIH has organised a number of workshops and courses covering a wide variety of topics and thrust areas. Participants are acquanted with the advances techniques and their applications for providing the solutions to real life hydrological problems through lecture, tutorial, computer sessions, laboratory and field visits
Appropriate training packages which include course material, lecture notes, computer programmes etc. is also distributed. Duration of these workshop normaly varies from 5 days to two weeks and sometimes up to 8 weeks depending upon the requirements.
Institute's technical reports are being widely circulated free of cost to various State and Central Government organisations as a part of Technology Transfer Programme.
