About Me

Hello everyone. I completed PhD in Genetics and Plant Breeding from a reputed institute in India that is the Indian Agricultural Research Institute. My PhD work is on the Identification of Quantitative trait loci for plant type, seed yield components and biochemical traits related to pod borer resistance in pigeon pea. I handled Biotechnology for crop improvement, Biotechnology of fruit crops, Genomics for crop improvement, and Breeding for biotic and abiotic stress resistance courses respectively.  I seek to engage the students by examining the ways they can participate in class discussions often using new collaborating platforms I look forward to individual conferences with students ascertaining their research direction and assisting in the composition of their theory and experiments. I also worked as Research Associate in sugarcane research station at ANGRAU I handled various kinds of projects such as NFSM-CSS- Commercial Crops, development of varieties etc.
