About

I am working as an Assistant Professor in Centurion University of Technology and Mangement specializing in Seed Science and Technology, Plant Breeding, and Genetic Resources. I have done my Ph.D. in Seed Science and Technology (2023) from Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya (BCKV), West Bengal, research focused on influence of seed priming and GA₃ application on yield components and seed quality of tomato. I hold an M.Sc. (Ag.) in Seed Science and Technology (2019) and a B.Sc. (Ag.) (2017) from BCKV.
My research expertise lies in seed priming, seed storability studies, seed quality evaluation, molecular breeding, and CRISPR/Cas9 applications. I have authored more than 10 research papers in NAAS-rated national and international journals, contributed two book chapters (including one with Springer Nature), and co-authored a book on Advances in Seed Treatment Technologies (2025). I am also a patent holder of a Seed Quality Analyzer Device (Design No. 399422-001, granted January 2024).
At CUTM, I teach both core and skill-based courses such as Fundamentals of Plant Breeding, Principles of Seed Technology, Crop Improvement, Hybridization Techniques, and Seed Production Practices. She has guided M.Sc. students, RAWE trainees, and undergraduate mentees, and have prepared Ph.D. entrance examination papers and question banks in Seed Science and Technology.
I actively participated in national and international conferences, workshops, and FDPs on CRISPR, bioinformatics, molecular breeding, gene sequencing, and data analysis using R. I have presented posters and oral papers at several conferences, receiving recognition including First and Third prizes for poster presentations at the 11th National Seed Congress.
I also got prestigious fellowships such as the Swami Vivekananda Merit-cum-Means Scholarship (2017–2023), along with academic merit awards including the Hemoprova Dasgupta Merit-cum-Means Award and Pannalal Basu Merit Award. Beyond academia, I have hands-on expertise in quality seed production of rice and hybrid maize over 60 acres of land, germplasm conservation, and laboratory management for accreditation purposes.
With a strong academic background, research contributions, and professional service, I am committed to advancing seed quality improvement, molecular breeding, and sustainable agriculture for future bioeconomy development.
