What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to contribute to sustainable agriculture through research and innovation, with opportunities for professional growth and collaboration.

I am currently pursuing my M.Sc. in Process Agriculture with a specialization in Entomology at CCS University. My academic journey has been complemented by hands-on experience in rural agriculture, where I conducted surveys and collected data from over 15 farmers, gaining insights into cropping patterns and soil health.

During my six-month training at the ICAR-Indian Institute of Pulse Research, I worked under the guidance of Dr. R. Jagadeeswaran, focusing on nematology. My master's research project explored the efficacy of Actinobacteria strains in managing lepidopteran pests and root pathogens in pulses, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.

In addition to my academic and research pursuits, I have developed basic computer skills and proficiency in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. I am passionate about traveling, sports, and engaging in activities that promote cultural awareness and an active lifestyle.
