What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to a forest-based institution or organisation working in forestry, biodiversity, and climate change, using my research expertise and field experience to support sustainable ecosystem management.

I'm currently serving with the J&K Forest Department in a field-based forestry role under the Rehbar-e-Janglat scheme, applying my PhD research in silviculture and forest management to sustainable ecosystem management.

I've contributed to Jammu & Kashmir climate-change work through the National Mission for Sustainable Himalayan Ecosystem, including a State Action Plan on Climate Change synthesis report and a sectoral CO₂ emission inventory. My research spans forest regeneration, biomass carbon, forest-fire soil impacts, ethnobotany, medicinal plants, and agroforestry carbon sequestration.

I've also prepared EIA/EMP studies for iron ore deposits, evaluated Joint Forest Management practices in Northern India, and gained industrial forestry exposure with BILT Paper Industries.
