Being a graduate in Mechanical Engineering from the Institute of Technical Education & Research (ITER) has given me the zeal to understand how and what degree of changes can be brought to an entity with the application of the right kind of skill set to it. During the engineering days, I got an opportunity to intern with East Coast Railways (which serves as the oldest rail network zone from the east of India) as a Mechanical Engineering Intern. Adding to engineering profile, I went on to pursue MBA in Rural Management (with a lot of preconception in the back of mind that how to align with my primary educational qualification) from Xavier Institute of Management Bhubaneswar in the batch of 2019-21 and the current year I have accomplished the same. During the entire two years of the MBA calendar, there were lots of ups & downs. However, I got an opportunity to get associated with Odisha Millet Mission (Government of Odisha) as a Summer Research Associate. In OMM, I have been assigned a completely new and solo project named “Comparative Assessment of Supply Chain of Millets from FPOs (Farmer Producer Organisations) context across India,” which included some of the essential components right from the rooting stage till the fruiting stage of the summer internship break which has been listed below.A. Collecting and analyzing the facts and figures about the supply chain of milletsB. Formulation of mixed questionnaire sets to conduct interviewsC. Telephonic interviews with the CEOs of the FPOsD. Conducting secondary research to substantiate the dossierE. Comparing the constraining and enabling factors across the supply chain domain of milletsF. Suggesting policy and strategic measures and recommendation for FPOs in OdishaG. Presenting the detailed report to the panel members from the Government of OdishaFinally, I got an opportunity to publish a paper titled “Supply Chain of Millets: An FPO Perspective (With a special reference to Odisha)” in the Journal Global Values (A Peer-Reviewed & Referred International Journal) in its VOL-XI-NO-2-July-Dec-2020 edition.
