PROLOGUE<\/strong>
The WALMI was sprouted under USAID program during eighties. It came in to existence during 1984 under World Bank aided, Upper Ganga Irrigation Modernization Project. The basic objectives were to train farmers and the line agency officials of the Irrigation Department Uttar Pradesh.

Traditional Activities<\/strong>
Traditionally the core activities of the WALMI were:
\u2022 Foundation Courses for Officials and officers of Irrigation Department
\u2022 Refresher Course for Officials and officers of Irrigation Department
\u2022 Conducting focused training program to the officials\/officers of the Irrigation Department
\u2022 Development of training modules

Impact of State Water Policy
<\/strong>In the year 1998, Uttar Pradesh State Water Policy \u2013 1998, was proclaimed. Consequently the WALMI became the hub of the training activities. Consequently many new activities sprouted in addition to the conventional activities. The new domain of activities was:
\u2022 Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM)
\u2022 Capacity Building of Water User Associations (WUA)
\u2022 Monitoring and Evaluation of PIM activities
\u2022 Monitoring and Evaluation of Water Resources projects

The above mentioned activities were utterly untried. The institute took the challenge to move abreast with the time honored demand. Consequently the institute left no stone unturned in meeting out the expectations. This was possible through mobilizing in house capability, hiring experts from open market and collaboration with other institutes.

Impact of the UPWSRP
<\/strong>As per the Project Appraisal Document of the World Bank the WALMI Lucknow has been designated as key institutions in the formation training and capacity building of the Uttar Pradesh Water Sector Restructuring Project (UPWSRP). The institute is carrying a variety of activities under UPWSRP. Following are the main activities of the UPWSRP in which WALMI is involved:
\u2022 Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM)
\u2022 Formation of Water User Association
\u2022 Management of Minors and Drains
\u2022 Management of Distributaries

The Current Activities of WALMI
<\/strong>Presently the institute is involved with a conglomeration of multifaceted activities. Some of the current activities structured by the WALMI are:
\u2022 Foundation Courses for Officials and officers
\u2022 Refresher Course for Officials and officers
\u2022 Training in different domain of Water and Land Management to all the stake holders of Land and Water, for example, farmers, Water User Associations, Local government bodies, officials and officers of Irrigation Department, Agriculture Department, Command Area Development Authorities of the state of Uttar Pradesh and NGOs
\u2022 Capacity Building of all the stake holders in relevant applied science and engineering aspects
\u2022 Sensitization of Water Resources Stake holders in PIM
\u2022 Conducting focused training program on Application of Computers
\u2022 Conducting focused training program in Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System
\u2022 Conducting Monitoring and Evaluation of Irrigation Projects
\u2022 Performance Evaluation of Water Resources Projects
\u2022 Providing consulting in various aspects of the land and water management and agricultural management to Ministry of water Resources (MoWR)
\u2022 Pilot Projects and Action Research Projects
\u2022 Socio Economic Surveys and Impact Assessment
\u2022 Environmental Surveys and Impact Assessment
\u2022 Organizing National Seminars and workshop for knowledge dissemination
\u2022 Development of training modules

From above description it is clear that the role of the WALMI is dynamic that is changing from time to time. From a modest beginning its role kept changing over time and now its role is multifaceted and specialized.

From The Director\u2019s Desk<\/h4><\/td><\/tr>

The state of Uttar Pradesh embarked upon a program of executing a number of Irrigation and power projects. The Convoluted field investigation and design of water resources projects necessitated the establishment of Irrigation Research Institute in 1926. Very little capacity building program was undertaken by this research institute.

The need of Capacity building in the domain of Water and Land Management was sprouted during seventies. The water and Land Management Institute (WALMI) came into existence during 1984. The basic objective of the institute was to train farmers and the line agency officials of the Irrigation Department Uttar Pradesh. After proclamation of the ‘Uttar Pradesh State Water Policy – 1998’ WALMI became the hub of the training activities.

The new domain of activities of the institute is organizing foundation and refresher courses for Officials, officers of Irrigation Department and other stake holders, such as, farmers, Water User Associations, Local government bodies, officials and officers of Agriculture Department, Command Area Development Authorities and NGOs. Institute conducts sensitization and awareness programs for PIM activities. Specialized training on application of modern techniques, computers, remote Sensing and geographical Information System are also conducted. Monitoring and evaluation of irrigation projects are also undertaken. Institute provides consultation on different aspects of the land, water and agriculture management to the Ministry of water Resources (MoWR). Pilot Projects, Action Research Projects, Socio Economic Surveys, Impact Assessment, Environmental Surveys are also conducted. Institute organizes Seminars and workshop for knowledge dissemination.

From a modest beginning the role of the institute kept changing over time and now its role is multifaceted and specialized. The training calendar of the institute has been prepared to cater the need of water and land management stakeholders. I hope this will serve your institutes need.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>
