"Unravelling the microscopic world to protect the silk of tomorrow."

I am a Research Scholar in Sericulture at SKUAST-Kashmir with deep interests in silkworm biology, mulberry cultivation, and sustainable farming. My PhD research centres on nematology — studying plant-parasitic nematodes that threaten mulberry crop health.

Through field surveys, microscopic laboratory work, and rigorous data analysis, I develop scientifically grounded methods to strengthen agricultural and sericulture productivity in Kashmir and beyond.
