  • I had knowledge on the research work in analyzing soil samples for microbial populations and plant samples for biochemical analysis. 
  • I contributed M. Sc dissertation: “Screening and characterization of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and their influence on maize. Ph. D dissertation: “Isolation and molecular characterization of abiotic stress tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria from different rhizospheric soils of Telangana to   Isolated and identified four efficient abiotic stress tolerant Plant growth promoting rhizobacterial isolates (Paenibacillus, Pseudomonas, Rhizobium, Azotobacter). These strains are using preparation of biofertilizers in the RKVY unit of Biofertilizer production unit, college of Agriculture, PJTSAU, Hyderabad.
  • I contributed some new topics to preparation of bulletins/book chapters to the teachers during training and seminars.  I am actively involved in technical assistants in basic microbiology laboratory techniques and have been helping in inferring results obtained from analyzing the samples.
  • The teaching and research experience gained through during my M. Sc and Ph.D program while assisting the practical classes and theory classes to UG, PG students, National, International level and through interactions with microbiologists of world repute during symposia, seminars, conferences.  I published more than 20 research articles in the Scientific Journals. The thrust arrears of research work in microbiology discipline at college and research have been:  
  • At NIPHM organized various on campus officers/farmers training programmes and off-campus farmers training programmes, I was keen to know the problems of farmers particularly in using biofertilisers by interacting with them and efforts were made to make them aware of the advantages of biofertilizers and on-farm production of biofertilizers and Biopesticides through cheaper method/low cost NIPHM technologies. Developed quality liquid biofertilizer formulations and involved in promotion and distribution.
  • I also published popular articles in Telugu language on Biofertilisers and their importance and application methods etc.
