Background :

After masters in Agricultural Extension from KAU, I had a brief stint of 2 years as Project Manager in Kerala Horticulture Development Programme (KHDP), a joint venture of Commission of European Communities & Govt. of Kerala. Then I moved to IARI, New Delhi for PhD in Ag. Extension Management. Thereafter, I am working in Socio Economic Evaluation & Technology Transfer Division of CMFRI focussing on extension research and right now, also as Manager of Agricultural Technology Information Centre (ATIC) taking care of practical extension. As per the national and international recognitions attained, I focused on the research on SHGs in Indian fisheries sector. My projects on coastal indebtedness and impact of microfinance & gender mainstreaming brought out interactive multi-media cyber extension packages as ICT modules and documentaries. The recognition received as ‘Commented Paper’ in Asian Fisheries Forum, orientation training on Evaluation Capacity Building on Rural Resource Management by Michigan State University, USA & International Development Research Centre, Canada, training received on Empowering Vulnerable Stakeholder Groups by UPM (Universiti Putra Malaysia) etc. also fortified me to contribute more to gender mainstreaming perspective and women empowerment paradigm as the prime foci of research. I am also getting established as a professional behavioural trainer in Leadership and Personal Effectiveness.
