The Board of Study (BS) in Agricultural Engineering plays a significant role in agriculture higher education in Sri Lanka by offering three important postgraduate programmes in Integrated Water Resources management (IWRM), Agricultural and Bio-systems Engineering and Geo-Informatics covering Agricultural Engineering related disciplines. These three postgraduate programmes have been developed considering the national education needs in related sectors and aiming at expanding the education initiatives in the region. The IWRM programme aims at producing multi-disciplinary professionals in water resources management with knowledge and skills from a scientific, technological, economic, social and environmental perspectives for integrated and sustainable use of water resources. The aim of Agricultural and Bio-systems Engineering programme is to produce agricultural and biosystems engineers capable of analysing, synthesizing and developing ingenious solutions for agricultural, biological and biochemical processes using scientific, mathematical and technological methods for increased and sustained productivity. Geo-informatics has been accepted around the world as a technology which benefits a large number of diverse disciplines. Hence, Geo-Informatics postgraduate programme aims at providing theoretical and practical knowledge in the fields of Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and related disciplines such as surveying, cartography, photogrammetry, spatial statistics etc. In addition to the formal postgraduate programmes, Board of Study in Agricultural Engineering is very active in organizing training programmes, workshops and symposia for local and regional participants. Since its inception in 2001, the IWRM postgraduate programme has managed to secure fellowship programmes for the M.Phil students through Unilever Water Fellowship programme, Crossing Boundaries Project funded by the Netherlands Government and IDRC-SAWA fellowship project supported by IDRC, Canada. The Board of Study is closely working with the Cap-Net Lanka; the Sri Lankan network of the global network on Capacity Building in Integrated Water Resources Management. The Board of Study has a very strong research programme covering all major aspects in IWRM, Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering and Geo-Informatics. The teaching panel of the Board which consists of eminent professionals from universities, government and private sector institutions has made it an attractive place for Agricultural Engineering postgraduate education in the country. http://www.pgia.pdn.ac.lk/files/notice/2020/handbook_2020.pdf
