AS on 08-08-2007

Training courses on the aspects of Public Health Engineering (PHE) are essential for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of water supply & sanitation projects, if programmes are to meet the criteria of cost effectiveness and efficient operation, maintenance and repair.

In order to cater to the needs of various Public Health Engineering Departments, Water Supply & Sanitation Boards, Urban Local Bodies, State Pollution control Boards and other Water Supply & Sanitation agencies like Jal Sansthans to train their personnel engaged in the field of PHE at various levels, the following training programmes have been introduced and are being conducted through research & academic Institutes and field departments :

Post Graduate Course in Public Health Engineering/Environmental Engineering.
Short Term Course in Public Health Engineering/Environmental Engineering
Refresher courses on various aspects of design, construction, operation and maintenance of water supply and sanitation facilities, including solid waste management.
