INTRODUCTION |
| |
|
IRI was established to carry out Research and Development
work under the aegis of the U. P. Irrigation Department
in the year 1928 as a small research unit in Lucknow. |

|
MR. GERALD LACEY, WAS THE FIRST RESEARCH OFFICER |
| |
 |
The expanded unit was shifted to Bahadrabad (Roorkee) in 1946.
|
|
|
The
research unit at Roorkee rose to a full fledged Institute in
1954. |
|
|
The
Institute gradually developed into a pioneer research
station |
|
|
Now
engaged in Research and Development activities for almost
all multipurpose river valley projects in Northern India.
