Trait specific germplasm in these crops have been identified and supplied to the National Crop Improvement Programme. Unique and trait specific germplasm of maize were collected such as, Sikkim primitive and water stagnation tolerant land races from Behraich (UP). At IARI, working as a cotton breeder, high strength lines have been identified and got registered with NBPGR. Working as Incharge of Centre for Agriculture Technology Assessment and Transfer (CATAT), IARI, a very ambitious transfer of technology programme encompassing different models and approaches with a horde of technologies developed by IARI has been efficiently and successfully implemented. Presently he is working for breeding wheat varieties, specially for timely sown irrigated conditions. He was elected fellow of Indian Society of Genetics and Plant Breeding in 1999.
