I am involved in University level academic and research activities since last 27 years. My research mainly focuses on enhancing livestock productivity through better understanding of management-nutrition-reproduction interface, and by applying systematic reproductive management program to address the infertility issues. I have pioneered the technique to minimize the breeding slumps during low season in Nepalese buffaloes. I have led in several projects funded by Agriculture and Forestry University and University Grants Commission in Nepal and Global Challenge Research Fund, UK. I have authored/co-authored more than 30 research papers in SCI journals, 20 papers in national journals, and have more than 60 proceeding/abstract publications. I was awarded with "Excellent Research Award in Theriogenology" in the year 2006 by Japanese Society of Veterinary Sciences. I am a buffalo scientist with extensive national and international networking that is reflected by my leading role as an organizing secretary of “International Buffalo Symposium 2017 Nepal” and invited keynotes speaker on buffalo research and development in the World and Asian level Buffalo Congresses. I led Asian Buffalo Association (ABA) as its President from 2018 to 2021. Nepal, for the first time in ABA history, organized successfully the 10th Asian Buffalo Congress 2021, and I was the Chair of the Organizing Committee.
