The Research Centre of Central Soil and Water Conservation Research and Training Institute at Bellary

 The Research Centre of Central Soil and Water Conservation Research and Training Institute at Bellary was established in October 1954.

Objectives :

  • To undertake research on soil erosion problems of the region by collecting and analyzing data on climate, soil, and plant in relation to runoff and erosion losses.
  • To evolve suitable agronomic and mechanical measures for effective conservation of soil moisture and field experimentation and demonstrate the efficacy of soil and water conservation methods to the farmers.
  • To investigate physical, chemical, and microbiological aspects of black soils with a view to increasing the structural stability and moisture retentive capacity.
  • To impart specialized training in soil and water conservation to officer/assistant trainees from different States.

The Central Soil and Water Conservation Research and Training Institute, Vasad

 The Vasad Centre is one of the Centres established in May 1955. Objectives: Appraisal of ravine problem and conservation of land and water resources along with the Mahi and other river systems in Gujarat. Evaluation of hydrology and management for reducing sediment discharge and improving water regime and productivity in ravine lands. Evaluation and identification of suitable plant material for different land use in ravine land according to land capability. Development of suitable technology for increasing production from ravine lands. Monitoring changes in the environment as affected by land use and management practices in ravine lands. Development of techniques for (a) Rainfed farming and (b) efficient water management in ravine lands. Development of techniques for stabilizing ravine lands. To set up demonstration projects for popularizing soil and water conservation measures in the region.
