With over two decades of experience in the development sector, I have worked extensively with the Panchayat and Rural Development Department of Chhattisgarh, SIRD, TISS, Samerth Trust, and currently serve as Senior Program Manager at the Foundation for Ecological Security (FES). My work spans rural governance, livelihood promotion, capacity building, and decentralized planning. Beyond my professional engagements, I am an avid birder and snake rescuer, reflecting my deep commitment to biodiversity and ecological conservation.
