About

I have recently joined as an Assistant Professor - Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry in Vanavarayar Institute of Agriculture (TNAU Affiliated) (ICAR Accredited), Pollachi, Coimbatore
I have been actively involved in soil science research for over 4 years, focusing on Soil Fertility related research.

During my doctoral tenure, I worked as a DST INSPIRE FELLOW issued by Department of Science & Technology, Ministry of Science & Technology, Government of India.
I worked on Soil Particulate Organic Matter separation and to find its influence on nutrient availability under continuous cropping system and Soilless culture techniques at Centre of Excellence in Sustaining Soil Health (COE-SSH), ADAC&RI, TRICHY

Earlier I had worked on the response of groundnut to sulfur nutrition.

I am a self-motivated person, confident in public speaking and love reading. I enjoy teaching, educating by creating awareness about soil health.
