Research Accomplishments: 

As per the Institute mandate, I has been actively involved in research, extension and institute building activities since last ten years of my service. I had associated with four institute research projects and successful executed, entitled Project 1: Studies on the host plant resistance and Bio-ecology of key nematode pests of pulse along with their eco-friendly management  (Project Code: CRSC IIPR SIL 2013-00700086), Project 2: Characterization and enhancement of shelf life of Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) for management of Helicoverpa armigera in Chickpea (Project Code: CRSCIIPRSIL 201600600130), Project 3: Characterization of pests and pathogens and host plant resistance in pulses (Project code: CRSCIIPRSIL 201700800147) and Project 4: Bio-intensive management of major pest and pathogens of pulse crops (Co-PI from 2017-2019; Project code: CRSCIIPRSIL 201700800148). I published 14 research articles, 3 training manuals, 4 book chapter, 11 popular articles, 5 e-publication and 8 research technology has been developed. I had attended and given lectures for several trainings, seminars, workshops and national and international conferences for enhancement of research knowledge. I had recognised with several awards and medals for the contribution of research . Holds membership in various prestigious scientific societies like, Indian Society of Pulses Research and Development (ISPRD), ICAR-IIPR, Kanpur, Society of Plant Protection Sciences (SPPS), ICAR-NCIPM New Delhi, Society for Bio-control Advancement, ICAR-NBAIR, Bengaluru.
