About the NTCoE
NMCG-TERI Centre of Excellence on Water Reuse (NTCoE) in TERI has been established by the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), Department of Water Resources, River Development & Ganga Rejuvenation, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Govt. of India. This CoE is the first of its kind in the Country that will match the activities envisaged under the Ganga Knowledge Centre (GKC) of the ‘Namami Gange Program’.
It is primarily a technology forum, which aims to bring various stakeholders to a common platform to design and foster research and innovation, including the identification of knowledge gaps for research and the need for new ideas, supporting targeted research, and spurring and nurturing needed innovation for low-cost, effective and integrated wastewater treatment technologies, which could bridge the current treatment gaps, boost treatment efficiency, augment capacities and provide safe treated water for reuse. Also, it aims to raise training standards, address skill gaps and align training & research with industry needs.
Participation of various stakeholders under different categories is welcome! Let us all work towards a water-secure India and the World!
