In the field of conservation genetics, much importance for protecting the wild life and domestic animal species and their habitats. In India, the genetic diversity of domestic sheep breeds is declining and results in breed dilution due to cross- breeding, inter-crossing of sheep germplasm and modern agricultural practices. For my Ph.D, I have focused to understand the genetic variability and diversity exist among different Indian sheep breeds using mtDNA markers.

I took Wildlife Biology as my subject because of my passion towards the field, which exposed a lot of opportunities where I can engage myself without boredom. Wildlife Photography is my main hobby, I like to travel a lot and photograph all amazing gazes the nature gives. I like to explore forests, rivers, mountains and oceans where I can feel the serenity of mother earth. My research interests are mainly focused on the diversity and distribution of invertebrates especially spiders. Currently I am studying the population genetics of Gaur, which helps me in developing my interests towards molecular biology and genomics. My interests are again taken over by sports and games like volleyball, table tennis etc. Movies are also my interests.

I am interested in understanding the genetic regulation involved with the physiological process of egg production in ducks. Studies have reported that the ovulation process plays a vital role in the egg production rate and based on the successful ovulation of the ova the egg is obtained. Scientists believe that there are thousands of ovarian follicles that can ovulate, but they are unsuccessful to complete the follicular stages. My study is based on this ovarian follicles and to analyze the genes responsible for egg production trait.
