Extra-curricular activities
1. Worked in an NGO, “North East India Committee on Relief and
Development” (NEICORD) as a Project Officer between mid 2005 to mid
2006. The main aim was to disseminate Integrated Development for the
upliftment of the econopmic status of selected communities in Meghalaya,
Mizoram, Nagaland, Assam and Manipur. The component of a scientific
analysis was the core approach in the incorporation of Agriculture Technology
(SALT) for a better agriculture yield and sustainable livihood.
