Human Resources Development
Enhancing the capabilities of manpower is taken up in WAPCOS systematically to meet the future challenges.
WAPCOS puts its executives through refresher/training courses in a number of disciplines under its MOU commitments.
Technology adopted in the planning, implementation and operation of Water Resources Projects, is in a continuous state of evolution, with due regard to the local conditions viz.
Technical input, clientele aspirations and market forces. In order to ensure that the technocrats involved as well as the beneficiaries are able to interact meaningfully to realise full benefits of the project, it is imperative that training and exchange of information, as well as of experiences, be arranged on a continuing basis. Apart from its inhouse faculty, the company has the benefit of being able to draw upon the services of specialists from its supporting organisations as well as research and development institutions, within the country.
The programmes are funded by national and international agencies by which the Indian and foreign engineers have drawn benefits at various levels from professional training through specifically structured modules tailored to meet their needs in these programmes.
Training is imparted through lectures, workshops. seminars, field visits. Farmers are taken on field visits to command areas of other project to acquaint them with improved practices and innovations in water resources utilization & management.
WAPCOS also organizes international/national level conferences, seminars and workshops to provide a forum for exchange of ideas among policy makers. engineers, scientists and non-governmental organisations.
