About Me

I have passed my UG in Horticulture from BCKV, WB in the year 2015 being the second topper of the batch. On that very year, I have qualified AIEEA-PG in 'Horticulture' conducted by ICAR and got the opportunity to pursue my Master degree in Horticulture (specialization in Vegetable Science) from first established Horticulture university in Asia, Dr. YSPUHF, Nauni, Solan, HP with ICAR National Talent Scholarship (NTS). I have completed my M.Sc. with certificate of merit in 2017 and also qualified ICAR ASRB NET in 'Olericulture'. I have also qualified AICE-JRF/SRF (PGS) conducted by ICAR in the same year. I have completed  my Ph.D. from BCKV with prestigious University Research Scholarship (URS) sponsored by Government of West Bengal in the year 2022. My research was on the topic "Yield components, nodulation and gene action in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)". I have written a significant number of Research and review papers, short communications, book chapters and regional language articles (Bengali) in several National and Internationally reputed journals, books and popular regional magazines and newspapers. In 2020, I have been awarded with 'Young Scientist Award' from VDGOOD. I am also associated with magazine "Agriculture & Food: e-Newsletter (ISSN: 2581-8317)" as a member of the Editorial board.
