National Institute of Rock Mechanics NIRM, Kolar was established in the year 1980,
The National Institute of Rock Mechanics (NIRM), is an autonomous Research Institute under Ministry of Mines, Government of India. Set up in 1988 under Societies Act, 1860, NIRM has its Head Office (HO) at Bengaluru and Registered Office (RO) at Kolar Gold Fields in Karnataka.
The Institute deals with field and laboratory investigations, basic and applied research, and solving complex problems in almost entire spectrum of Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering related to Mining and Civil Engineering activities.
The National Institute of Rock Mechanics (NIRM) is a premier centre for research in applied and basic rock mechanics. NIRM is committed to provide latest technology to mining, civil and construction industries, both in India and abroad, to achieve improved production, productivity, with enhanced safety and economy. NIRM integrates theory and practice to provide specialized services of rock mechanics / rock engineering for coal and non-coal mines, hydroelectric projects, nuclear power projects, irrigation schemes, tunneling works, underground oil and gas storage caverns and other projects related to excavation in rock.
Vision
The Institute has a vision to become a self-sustaining Centre of Excellence of International Standard in the areas of rock mechanics, rock engineering and allied fields for the development of mining, construction, petroleum, power and infrastructure sectors. The vision is to lay special emphasis on quality, innovation, professional competency and skill development, so as to serve all the stakeholders in the identified sectors. This vision will be responsive to changing global needs with special emphasis on quality and innovation to serve the industry in the most economical manner.
Mission
The Mission of NIRM is to support the mining and construction industries in safety and resource optimisation by way of providing our expertise in the fields of scientific design of mine workings, design of rock excavations and support systems, optimised site characterisation and evaluation and testing of rock and material samples for understanding rock mass and material behaviour relevant to design requirement.
National Institute of Rock Mechanics NIRM, Kolar offers various graduate courses as well as Post Graduate courses.
