What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my agricultural expertise in a collaborative environment, focusing on sustainable practices and community engagement.

I am an agriculturist with a strong focus on sustainable farming and integrated crop management. My experience includes conducting economic analyses with over 80 farmers in Panchthar, leading initiatives that have significantly improved agricultural practices. I have a proven ability to convert research into actionable programs, fostering collaboration between government entities and farmers.

During my internship at the Prime Minister Agriculture Modernization Project, I facilitated interactions with over 100 farmers, identifying key challenges and providing effective solutions that improved pest management by an estimated 30%. My work has involved managing data records, preparing reports, and conducting educational presentations that have boosted the adoption of integrated weed control practices by 20%.

With a Bachelor's Degree in Science of Agriculture and a CGPA of 3.78, I have conducted research on the economic analysis of large cardamom farming, applying advanced analytical techniques to identify production factors and challenges. I am passionate about enhancing agricultural productivity and am committed to continuous learning and improvement in the field.
