He specialises in General Medicine and has contributed significantly to the academic community with more than 30 national and international journal publications, earning two gold medals for his national paper publications.
Under his leadership, the department established five NMC-recognized MD seats, the first of its kind in Madhya Pradesh in 2020, and has been at the forefront of blood donation initiatives, collecting the highest number of donations in the state for over five years.
