Dr. Rajendra Singh has been a faculty in the Agricultural and Food Engineering Department, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur since 1989. He has been associated with the Soil Water Conservation Engineering discipline of the Department (presently known as Land Water Resources Engineering), and has taught “Soil & Water Conservation Engineering” at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He has contributed significantly to the Agricultural Engineering profession through teaching, research and technology transfer. He has developed and popularised five software packages, including the Soil Conservation Structure Designer (SCS_Designer) to improve the agricultural engineering education and research. Dr. Singh has guided 17 PhD and 75 MTech students, with an h‐index of 33 and i‐10‐index of 51. He has received several national and international honours and awards including BOYSCAST Fellowship, AICTE Career Award for Young Teachers, ICAR Young Scientist Award, DAAD Research Fellowship, DAAD Visiting Professorship; and held important positions like Member, Board of Governors, Dean (Undergraduate Studies) and Head of Department at IIT Kharagpur, and Member of Research and Technical Advisory Committees of several National bodies. Dr Singh has also won the “Recognition Award” in the area of ‘Soil & Water Conservation Engineering’ from the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
