Professional Summary:

From being the top student of Geography in my graduation, I have come a long way to be pursuing research, now childlessness, marriage, fertility and reproductive health related issues. It was in my masters that I decided to specialize on human geography and demography. The push into demographics came as I got interested into the society and its ways. Since then I have not looked back and over the course of time I have pursued research, publishing papers and attending conferences regularly. I intend to continue my study in this field in the near future and acquire a research oriented position in one of the better institutes.
