Education:

My academic foundation is built on a commitment to advancing management, social sciences, and governance principles, culminating in a Ph.D. in Management from Himalayan Garhwal University, Uttarakhand. My doctoral research provided a thorough grounding in management theory, organizational behavior, and public policy, equipping me with the analytical and strategic skills required for high-level research and leadership roles in both academia and public sector governance.

Prior to my Ph.D., I pursued extensive studies in social sciences, enabling me to develop a solid understanding of research methodologies and analytical techniques critical to social audit processes, public accountability, and transparency frameworks. This educational background has proven instrumental in my career, allowing me to design and implement data-driven strategies for government schemes, particularly in the context of rural development and MSME sector support.

My proficiency with statistical tools like SAS and SPSS has roots in my formal education and has been further refined through professional training. These skills have enabled me to conduct sophisticated data analyses, ensuring precision and insight in evaluating program effectiveness and informing policy decisions. Through this combined academic and technical training, I gained a robust toolkit for quantitative and qualitative research, empowering me to address complex, real-world issues in governance and management.

Throughout my education, I have consistently sought opportunities to connect theory with practice. This is reflected in my collaborative work with educational institutions, government departments, and non-profits to design and deliver curriculum content focused on capacity-building, statistical analysis, and policy management. My dedication to continuous learning and application of knowledge in practical settings has not only enhanced my professional capabilities but has also reinforced my commitment to meaningful contributions in social science research and public service.

In summary, my educational journey has provided me with a comprehensive skill set and a deep understanding of management, research, and public policy. These competencies support my ongoing efforts to drive transparency, accountability, and development within the public sector, while my background in curriculum development and academic collaboration enables me to share these insights with the next generation of leaders and practitioners.
