- Responsible Fisheries Extension
- Fisheries Policy
- Gender
A PhD from IARI, New Delhi I joined CMFRI in 2000 after a three year stint in CRIDA, Hyderabad. My transition from “dry lands” to “deep seas” has been facilitated by an NFP sponsored Wageningen based-IAC training programme in 2002 and the continuing support from my colleagues and fisherfolk. I am passionately involved in the field of Responsible Fisheries Extension which has been quite rewarding, though off late I find addressing the issues of the “tropical water epistemological disconnect” a bit frustrating. I have research interests in gender issues, fisheries & fisheries research policy and innovation systems too.
