The Water and Land Management Training & Research Institute (WALAMTARI) is recognized as one of the only four Class-I Institutes in AP and is widely known in India and outside for the activities under Participatory Irrigation Management (PIM). The Institute has faculty from two major streams connected with Irrigated Agriculture i.e. Irrigation Engineering and Agriculture. Faculty from both these streams is mainly practicing professionals and hence their inputs are straight from the field and hence more practical and hands-on. WALAMTARI has collaboration from professional engineering bodies like the Engineering Staff College of India (ESCI), National Construction Academy (NAC), etc. WALAMTARI is in the process of developing a pool of Roving Trainers (RT) from out of practicing farmers and engineers for more effective and enlarged practical capacity building at local level.
