Graduation in Agriculture, post-graduation and a doctorate in Environmental Sciences have provided me with a strong foundation in understanding the environmental problems relating to air, water, and soil ecosystems. Agricultural sciences, crop production, rice cultivation, biodiversity, solid waste, wastewater, remote sensing, trace gases, air pollution stress on crops, and climate change mitigation were the main subjects in which I had always excelled right from my bachelor's to the doctoral degree.
During the course of my education, I took up several projects with the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and Tamil Nadu Newsprint and Paper Limited (TNPL). As working with project groups and scientific experts in the ISRO team, I have good knowledge of scientific report writing, collaborative work, and communication skills. This association helped a lot in consolidating my understanding of environmental and developmental skills, especially valuable skills to manage, lead and collab
