🏆 Awards and Recognition

Over the years, I have been humbled to receive several national and institutional awards that recognize my contributions to agricultural extension, participatory research, and rural innovation. These honors reflect the collective efforts of the communities I serve, the collaborators I work with, and the institutions that support my vision. From prestigious recognitions like the NABARD Researcher of the Year and Jawaharlal Nehru Best Ph.D. Thesis Award, to accolades for young scientists, best presentations, and extension excellence by NABARD—each award inspires me to keep bridging science with society for meaningful impact.
