The National Institute of Technology Jamshedpur (NIT Jamshedpur) has MoU with the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) which is under Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India.
CPWD came into existence in July, 1854 when Lord Dalhousie established a central agency for execution of public works and set up Ajmer Provincial Division. It has now grown into a comprehensive construction management department, which provides services from project concept to completion and maintenance management.
It is headed by Director General(DG) who is also the Principal Technical Advisor to the Government of India. The regions and sub-regions are headed by Special DGs and Additional DGs respectively, while the zones in all state capitals (except a few) are headed by Chief Engineers. With country wide presence, the strength of CPWD is its ability to undertake construction of complex projects even in difficult terrains and maintenance in post construction stage.
