Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA) is set to establish a dedicated Training and Research Academy aimed at reducing its long-standing dependence on costly local and foreign consultancy services. The proposed project, titled "Dhaka Wasa Training and Research Academy Establishment", will be implemented at Mirpur Senpara Parbata Mouza in the capital at an estimated cost of Tk721.42 crore. Dhaka Wasa will execute the project under the Local Government Division between October 2025 and June 2031. Officials said Dhaka Wasa’s officers and staff do not yet have adequate expertise to operate and manage these modern systems effectively. Dhaka Wasa currently has a training centre, but its infrastructure and human resources are inadequate for advanced training and research.
