Work experience
I have more than 25 years experience of planning, supervising, advising and executing programmes in the area of land and water management in saline environment. I have been engaged in research on canal water delivery scheduling, water allocation and water application, hydro-salinity modelling, and conjunctive use of saline and poor quality water. I have also supervised M.Sc., Ph.D. research and was responsible for establishment "Advanced Centre of Post Graduate Agricultural Education and Research in Irrigation Management. At national level, I have provided consultancy to command area development authority (Sarda Sahayak, Ramganga), AFPRO, U.P. Land Reclamation Corporation, etc. At international level, I was retained by FAO for Expert Consultation in "Problems soils", "Salinity and drainage" and "Use of simulation of models in Irrigation and Drainage".
