I hold a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (2018) from Shri Dev Suman University, Tehri Garhwal, and a Master of Science in Horticulture (2020) from Shri Guru Ram Rai University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. After my post-graduation, I started my career as an Agriculture expert at the Peoples Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research and development organization based in Dehradun. Since November 2020, I have been part of the development team as an Agriculture expert in the CSR- Mahindra & Mahindra project (Holistic village development through watershed Approach) in the Haridwar district. I have also worked on other projects where I was responsible for agri-business establishment, promoting liquid organic manure and pest controllers, farm demonstration training, plantations, and other related tasks. My diverse experience includes projects like Holistic Village Development Through Watershed Approach Project (CSR-Mahindra & Mahindra 2020-2021, Haridwar, Uttarakhand), Co-creating Sustainable Agri-Water Use in the Hindon Sub-Basin (A Multi-Scale participatory Approach, Muzaffarnagar & Saharanpur Districts of Uttar Pradesh), and Livelihood Initiative for Financial Empowerment Project (CSR-LIC Housing Finance 2021-2022-2023, Nainital, Uttarakhand). Apart from my technical knowledge, my other area of experience includes mobilization, participatory approaches, and micro-level planning. I have recently joined Mount Valley Development Association as an Agriculture associate.
