I have earned PhD in Plant Physiology from Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi and joined Agricultural Research Service in January 2004 and now working on Mango at Central Institute for Subtropical Horticulture, Lucknow. I have P.G. Diploma in Patent Laws. The latest global movements on FOSS, BiOS and Open Access created interest on IPR, Patents, Open Access and Free and Open Source Agricultural Biotechnology. Currently I am also the Joint Secretary of Agricultural Research Service Scientists' Forum.
