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.
