About

Being a researcher of Odisha Biodiversity Board, I am interested in microbial application for human welfare, especially for the farming community. My current research is focused on the exploration of biopotential of native microbial diversity from lesser studied habitats of my home State Odisha. Further, as Coordinator of Odisha Biodiversity Board, I am also involved partly in other aspects of plant and animal diversity conservation.
