Supervisor: Rajkamal Goswami

I have always been a nature nerd and have travelled across India for work on nature conservation projects. Previously, I have worked on Grassland Biodiversity Assessment at Neemuch, Madhya Pradesh. Later, I had a privilege to work in Koraput as a part of Youth for India Fellowship. I felt grateful to work on my dream project during MSc dissertation; on Asiatic lions. With the support of my former guide, I have create a typology of wells in Gir landscape to prevent lion's mortality by falling into open well. Even after 5 years of leaving my home town for education and job, I felt deeply connected to Gir so, I have developed my thesis synopsis to understand the novel resources and habitat that lions use in human-dominated coastal areas of Saurashtra. Other than that i practice mindfulness and kindness towards myself and others. I do enjoy listening podcasts, reading books and inquiring beliefs that I or people around me carries. I am cultivating the joy of being in the present moment.
