<b>The Institute of Technology Management (ITM) - Historical Background</b>
The Institute of Technology Management (ITM) is a premier training institute of Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO), Ministry of Defence, Govt. of India. The Institute is existing since 1962, as Defence Institute of Work Study and then as ITM from 1994. The institute is located in the salubrious and picturesque surroundings of Himalayan Ranges in Mussoorie (Uttranchal).
ITM offers training in specific subjects in the areas of Technology Management, Project Management and R&D Management etc. for DRDO Scientists. These courses are also open to others in Government, Public and Private Sector Undertakings. Keeping pace with our changing technological maturity, the institute charter has been expanded and it is now contemplated as follows :
To impart training in Management with specific emphasis on Management of Technology to all personnel of DRDO, the three Services, other Defence Ministry personnels, officers from undertakings and public and private enterprises.
To identify, take up and encourage research work in Technology Management with specific emphasis on : New Product Development; MOT; Project Management; Quality Assurance and Reliability; Administrative Management; Material Management; Financial Management; Computer Application in Management; Contract Management; Behavioural Science and Stress Management.
To provide management consultancy to Government and Non Government developments for creating and maintaining necessary management database for the same.
The institute constantly update and upgrade management education programs. There is regular interaction with important professional institute such as ASCI, IIMs and IITs on various management programmes and faculty exchange/development.
We, at ITM endeavor to tailor our programmes to ensure that our participants show visible improvements in their performance after successful completion of their education at this institute. We urge our user organizations and passing out students to keep providing us with feedback to help us to attain our goal of excellence in Technology Management Education.
A significant academic 'Milestone' has been achieved by ITM by earning recognition as a "Centre for Doctoral Research" leading to award of D.Phil degree by HNB Garhwal University with effect from 26 Jan 2004. This has opened up as an avenue for DRDO fraternity to pursue Doctoral Research in Management without interrupting their day-to-day research activities at their respective labs.
<b>The Institute of Technology Management (ITM) - Achievements</b>
The Training Year 2004-05 has been an immensely satisfying year in which we at ITM endeavoured to provide inputs to participants that have a direct bearing on their work areas. Our courses have been well received, as indicated by the feedback from participants and by the overwhelming response from DRDO Labs..
There was no dearth of challenges and opportunities during the past year and ITM team delivered the desired results through dedication and untiring efforts. The high point of the year was the successful conduct of Fourth Global Conference on Flexible Systems Management (GLOGIFT-2005) co-hosted by ITM in association with Global Institute of Flexible Management, New Delhi, from 26 to 29 Dec 2004.
<b>Microwave Tube Research & Development Center(MTRDC) -Historical Background</b>
MTRDC is a constituent R&D laboratory of Defence Research & Development Organisation, Ministry of Defence. It was established in 1984, with an aim to develop advanced types of microwave tubes to meet the present and futuristic needs of the country and establish self-reliance in this strategic area.
MTRDC initially started in CASSA, Bangalore and moved to a small accommodation in the Bharat Electronics Complex, Bangalore. It was housed in its own building in 1992 near the Microwave Tube Division of Bharat Electronics in order to facilitate continuous interaction between the R&D and production teams. MTRDC has built a residential complex in HMT Township just 4 km away from the laboratory.
Today, it has a team of 125 highly qualified and dedicated scientists, technologists and office staff. A number of travelling-wave tubes and technologies have been developed for which Transfer of Technology to Bharat Electronics is under progress. MTRDC has to its credit a number of national awards and several papers have been published in national and international levels.

<b>Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL) - Historical Background</b>
Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL) was envisaged in 1961 as one of the modern armament research laboratories under the Department of Defence Research & Development. The laboratory became fully operational in 1967 and was formally inaugurated in January 1968 by the then Defence Minister. While the main laboratory is situated in Chandigarh, the firing range, spread over an area of 5000 acre, is located at Ramgarh in Haryana, 22 km away from Chandigarh. Over the past three decades, the Laboratory has grown into an institution of excellence and has become one of the major technical bases in the field of armament studies in DRDO.
The Laboratory facilitates basic and applied research in the fields of high explosives, detonics and shock waves, evolving data and design parameters for new armament stores and assessing terminal effects of ammunition under indigenous development/foreign origin.
<b>Terminal Ballistics Research Laboratory (TBRL) - Achievements</b>

<b>Naval Materials Research Laboratory (NMRL) - Historical Background</b>
Naval Materials Research Laboratory (NMRL), Mumbai, was established in 1953 as Naval Chemical & Metallurgical Laboratory, an in Âhouse laboratory of the Navy. The Laboratory was brought under the administrative control of DRDO in early sixties.
The Laboratory, which was earlier located in a small multistoried complex at Naval Dockyard, Mumbai, has now moved to its own technical-cum residential complex at MIDC Area, Ambernath, Maharashtra. However, a small compliment catering mainly to the scientific support to the Fleet and other Naval establishments continues to remain functional at the Naval Dockyard. From a modest beginning, the laboratory has now grown into a full-fledged materials laboratory. It is now recognized as a single-window agency for all materials requirement of the Navy.
