National Health MissionAbout Me
I hold a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak, and a Master of Public Health from AIIMS Jodhpur. My clinical training shaped a central conviction: the greatest gains in health come from preventing disease, not only treating it.
My research experience spans national projects at AIIMS Delhi, an internship at the Ministry of Women & Child Development, and training with the National Health Mission and ICMR. I currently serve as Project Research Scientist–I (Medical) at AIIMS Jodhpur, supporting the INSHORT randomized controlled trial on TB meningitis.
Alongside research, I am actively engaged in scientific communication and health advocacy — from conducting training sessions for clinicians to community awareness programs on HIV with partner organizations.
