Brief Introduction

Dr Angrej Singh has worked as Co-PI in ICAR sponsored AICRP on Plastic Engineering in Agriculture Structure and Environment Management(PEASEM) and Consortia Research Platform for Micro irrigation systems (CRP-MIS) projects funded by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), and associated scientist in Direct Benefit Transfer of Electricity (Funded by World Bank through TERI), Co-PI in Promotion of Micro irrigation for command area development water management programme in Kotla Branch Part-II    (Funded by PWRM&DC Chandigarh (List attached).  The AICRP-PEASEM team received Best Centre Award during 2018 and 2022 He has organized winter school as course coordinator on “Advances in Micro Irrigation, Fertigation and Protected Cultivation for Improving Water and Nutrient Use Efficiency” sponsored by ICAR. He was involved in the development of 10 REC recommendations (List Attached). related to drip irrigation, fertigation, protected cultivation, hydroponics, rooftop vegetable nutrition garden. He has 41 research publications in the refereed journals.
