My core competencies lie in fostering industry-academia relationships, a skill honed through my responsibilities with TAPMI's Placement and Corporate Engagement Team. The foundation of these competencies is built on a B.Sc in Agriculture from Annamalai University and expertise in integrated pest management (Practical Applications in real world problems)Through my recent work, our team has successfully enhanced student-industry interactions (DISHA"24), enriching the educational experience and preparing students for their professional journeys.
