At Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, I research long-term trends in oilseed production using statistical and econometric approaches. I also compare natural and conventional farming systems through survey-based research and farmer-level socioeconomic analysis.

For a project on natural farming-based seed production, I supported survey design, farmer-level data collection, statistical analysis and interpretation of results. My M.Sc. thesis developed statistical models to forecast dry-fruit area and production in Himachal Pradesh, and I have taught Statistics as Guest Faculty.
