Biography

I am Dr Smruti Ranjan Padhan, currently working as a Subject Matter Specialist (SMS) in ICAR-Krishi Vigyan Kendra, East Sikkim under the ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Umiam. I have completed my Ph.D. in agronomy from the prestigious ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. With profound excellence and a meritorious academic record, I have undertaken my under-graduation from Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar. By securing All India Rank (AIR)-03 (Agronomy) in ICAR-AIEEA-PG (JRF) Entrance examination, I have completed my Master’s degree being a topper from the prestigious Division of Agronomy, ICAR-IARI, New Delhi. I have also qualified for the ICAR-AIEEA-PhD (SRF) Entrance examination to pursue my PhD programme at IARI, New Delhi. I have into my account several peer-reviewed research and review papers published in acclaimed national and international journals along with many books, book chapters and popular articles. I am also a life member of the Indian Society of Agronomy and the Maize Technologist Association of India. I have worked on the varied aspects of conservation agriculture-based nutrient management options for cropping systems under maize sequence along with the development of soil quality index (SQI). I have also garnered experience in precision nutrient and weed management aspects of direct-seeded rice under upland conditions. Currently, I am working as the associate editor of the Indian Journal of Agronomy as well.
