Sanjay Kumar Jha, the minister of information and public relations, the secretary of the department of water resources, and the chief engineer Rabindra Kumar Shanker were also present during the signing event.

Speaking at the event, the minister noted that the MoU is a historic step toward the growth of agriculture in the state. Engineering and management integration would offer long-term solutions to the numerous issues relating to water resources.

He asserted that the department's properly trained staff will be capable of dealing with the issues caused by droughts and floods.
