Research Intersts: • Technology Transfer • Extension System • Sustainable Rural Development • ICTs • Communication • Youth Development
Research Intersts: The spectrum of my interest includes training needs assessment, Human Resource Development (HRD), Administration and Management. I have great urge to inculcate the basic knowledge of Fibre Technology with the blend of extension for the welfare of various spheres of society particularly the farmers.
Research Intersts: Since, the era of communication has transformed this world into Global Village. The swift and perpetuate transitions in diversified realms of life necessitate the use of various communication media to pace with the ever-changing world. In this context, agricultural sector is no exception. Agricultural extension has been striving for dissemination of latest agri. information to the farming community and getting feedback about their problems as well. For keeping the farmers updated about the latest and sophisticated agri. technologies, mass media can play a vital role particularly electronic media. So, my research spheres encompass the various communication modalities in general and electronic media in particular. In the future scenario, exploring various avenues for effective use of media for the effective transfer of agri. technologies will be the real target.
Research Intersts: Agri. extension systems, agricultural Policies and regulations, history of agri. extension, Farmers’ agricultural innovations.

Research Intersts:
Research Intersts: Worldwide ICTs have played a revolution in all arenas of life (education, research and health) including agriculture and livestock production. ICTs are also contributing in the social life of rural people. ICTs utilization for teaching is remarkable. One of my areas of interest is role of ICTs in agriculture and livestock sector. I want to do work in this area. My other focus is on gender role in agriculture. What male and female do in this field? What their roles and responsibilities are in rural areas? I am also interested in doing research work in the area of food security. It is a big risk to people residing on the globe. Escalating population with an alarming rate is also a major factor of food insecurity. I want to analyze food security chains, food losses at various levels and marginalized communities of the society who are food insecure. Major target sect of the society is woman; my focus is on their well-being. I have also done work on communication interventions and factors affecting the production gap in agriculture sector. As less production is also a cause of food insecurity. I had analyzed the main factors which affect crop production causing poor yield.
