Foreword
The SAARC Human Resource Development Centre, Islamabad has published the fifth issue of
the Directory of HRD Institutions and Experts in the SAARC Region. The Directory is intended
to provide information about the HRD experts and institutions to match the needs of the regional
policy makers and practitioners in search of policy updates or feedback from the experts. The
Directory also contains comprehensive information for international aid organizations, HRD
researchers, training / conference/seminar organizers seeking experts to speak on particular
issues or looking for HRD writers in the region.
The Directory has been compiled and updated from the best available sources of information at
the date of publication. It has been developed with a view to develop a network for sharing
professional experiences and expertise for HRD in the region. The Directory includes 102 public
and private sector organizations in the SAARC Member States.
I would like to appreciate the support provided by Ms. Aneela Nasreen, Librarian and Mr. Ahmad
Subhani, Data Entry Operator for compiling and updating the Directory, which will serve as a
resource and networking aid.
If you are an HRD expert or you are affiliated with an organization which deals with research,
capacity building and its related areas, please provide information to include the same in the
upcoming issue of the Directory.

management of water resources. To solve water resources problems, a team
of hydrologists, irrigation and drainage engineers, water resources
managers, water resources engineers, geologists, economists, social
scientists, agronomist, soil scientists and environmentalists is required. The
basic training that an engineer receives during his initial degree is limited
and cannot cope with the highly specialized and rapid technological
advancement in the development and management of water resources. He
cannot solve complex water resources problems with the knowledge of the
elementary principles learnt in the basic degree programmes. The Centre
started two M.Phil degree programmes in 1979 in the fields of Hydrology
(HYD) and Water Resources Management (WRM). A 3 rd M.Phil degree
programme was started in 1994 in the discipline of Water Resources
Engineering (WRE). The degree program in Hydrology was redesigned as
Engineering Hydrology (EHY). In addition M.Sc. degree was initiated in
the fields of Water Resources Management WRM, Engineering Hydrology
EHY, and Water Resources Engineering WRE. The Centre offered a 4th
postgraduate M.Sc. degree programme in the discipline of Hydropower
Engineering (HPE) in 2000.
