The saga of my Research and its interests: It all started when I was pursuing my graduation in Environmental Management. I was intrigued by the real world conditions and started to search for answers, probably in a very vague manner. Though I was successful in collecting data that I could not represent it in the proper form of information. While I tried several combinations, trails and errors in understanding the ways and means to convert data to interpretation, I realized that I was actually doing research defined as “a process of systematic inquiry that entails collection of data, documentation, analysis, and interpretation”. Thus, for me, research was a trigger, an intrigue into trying to understand, analyze, and provide solutions to the problems of all nature, probably which was my inherent zeal. I consider myself to be destined to pursue environmental science, as it has provided me the knowledge to deal with actual, real-world conditions. I am very close to nature and fellow beings and hence was eventually inclined to research on water and public health (precisely occupational health). Though yet times I try to research on several other related fields I am firmly engrained in the areas of water and public health. In the entire, the course of my research and in future sustainable approaches/solutions are the core doctrines. I have taken up studies in basic research through


 * Characterization of water – fresh, marine and several industrial effluents;
 * Understanding the perception of populations with respect to occupational health and changing climatic conditions. Moved on to applied research by working on
 * Point of use solutions for surface water treatment that comprised of treating surface water using natural coagulants.

There is a lot more to explore in this area and I am & amp; will work on this, probably for the next decade. Problem-oriented research has become an integral (probably interfering) part of my research. Since in the process of applied research I somewhere land on a pressing issue to be addressed immediately. Treating pharmaceutical wastewaters to ZLD (Zero Liquid Discharge) was a part of this research. Active and unavoidable research will keep pressing on me and forcing me to contribute my time present and future, which is also equally intriguing and delightful.
