I am a Plant Pathologist hailing from Theog, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. My work primarily focuses on Plant Pathology, orchard management, and forestry.
Academic Background
I completed my early education at Himalayan Public School, Theog, and my secondary education at SD Sr. Sec. School, Shimla in 2019.
I then pursued my Bachelor of Science (BSc) Hons. in Forestry and MSc. (Agri) Plant Pathology from Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture & Forestry. My academic focus bridges the gap between traditional agricultural practices and modern management.

Orchard Management: I am actively managing an apple orchard, specializing in the cultivation and crop management of Spur and Gala apple varieties on seedling rootstocks. I am also currently working on a new spur-based red-fleshed apple variety named Red celeste.
