INTRODUCTION

As part of modernisation of IDRB we introduce the online facilities for submission of data for the design of various irrigation structures and design drawing submission, monitoring of dams, quarterly inspection report, National Water Mission and blog facility. The introduction of this online design indent in the modified website helps in reducing the time delay in the completion of the design and drawing submission. The online dams monitoring provide us with an up-to-date knowledge about the variation in water level of the reservoir, preventing the occurrence of disasters. The blog facility provided here, helps to bring all the Engineers in this department under an umbrella. The national water mission provides a common platform for various departments’ such as Agriculture, Industries and Commerce, Fisheries etc for the preparation of state specific action plan. With the introduction of all these facilities the design wing of the Irrigation department keeps pace with latest developments in the field of information technology.
