Welcome to Natural Resources Management Centre - NRMC
We are
The Natural Resources Management Centre (NRMC) is mandated to optimize the use of land and water resources on scientific basis to improve national agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner. Changes in land use pattern with increasing population pressure, diminish both the quality and quantity of land and water resources while climate change and its extreme situations are exerting additional pressure on them. These issues are leading to accelerated soil erosion, declining soil fertility, salinization and retardation of water availability for agriculture and deterioration of soil and water. Therefore, development of technologies targeting judicial utilization while conserving natural resources, particularly land and water resources are a vital task.

Therefore, development of technologies targeting judicial utilization while conserving natural resources, particularly land and water resources are a vital task.
The NRMC conduct research and development programs covering several disciplines. Research thrust areas of the centre are soil conservation and watershed management, land suitability evaluation, agro-meteorology and climate change, geo-informatics and remote sensing, productivity enhancement, soil and water quality assessments and on-farm water management. Main development programs include implementation of the Soil Conservation Act, maintenance of the agro-meteorological observation network of the country, technology dissemination, provision of technical assistance and services in environmental impact assessment of various development projects.Mission
