Dr. Yadav has a long-standing interest in teaching at the UG, PG, and Ph.D. level and is involved in taking courses in agriculture microbiology, bacteriology, biosystematics and biodiversity, bioprocess engineering and technology, environmental biotechnology, environmental microbiology, industrial microbiology, microbial biotechnology and techniques in microbiology and biotechnology. Dr. Yadav is currently handling two projects one funded by the Department of Environments, Science & Technology (DEST), Shimla, and one by HP Council for Science, Technology & Environment (HIMCOSTE). Presently he is guiding 05 scholars for the Ph.D. degree and 01 for M.Sc. dissertations.

In his credit ~8700 microbes (Archaea, bacteria, and fungi) isolated from diverse sources and ~550 potential and efficient microbes were deposited at culture collection National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Microorganisms (NBAIM), Mau, India. He has deposited 2386 nucleotide sequences and 03 whole-genome sequences (Bacillus thuringiensis AKS47, Arthrobacter agilis L77, and Halolamina pelagica CDK2) and 02 transcriptomes to NCBI GenBank databases: in the public domain. The niche-specific microbes from extreme environments were reported as specific bio-inoculants (Biofertilizers) for crops growing in normal and diverse abiotic stress conditions. Dr. Yadav and his group have developed technology for screening of archaea for phosphorus solubilization for the first time. He has the lifetime membership of Association of microbiologist in India, Indian Science Congress Council, India and National Academy of Sciences, India.
