Government employees under the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation (MoEWRI) and offices under it including employees who have a direct link with water resources development and management require short term and medium term training related to their job for their efficient performance and development of professionalism. Currently, MoEWRI does not have such training institute. In the view of the importance of such institute and for the research and development works in Water Resource Sector, "Water Resource Research and Development Centre (WRRDC)" with training, laboratory and research facilities under the direct supervision of Secretary (the then secretary of Ministry of Irrigation) was established in 2015 AD (2072 BS). Now the center is under direct supervision of the Secretary (Water Resources and Irrigation) under the Ministry Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation (MoEWRI).
