Achievements:

1. Principal Investigator for ISRO project titled – " Effect of processes on properties of polymer composites by microwave curing". The amount sanctioned was Rs. 8,00,000.00
2. Principal Investigator for UGS sanctioned project – "Development of ecofriendly natural fibre reinforced plastic for footwear applications" for the year 2004-2005. The amount sanctioned was Rs. 95,000.00. This project is to develop low cost natural thermoplastic components such as jute, thermoplastics which would cater to a large segment of shoe manufacturers.
3. Presented paper in International Meet - The Indian Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics on "THEORITICAL ELASTO-PLASTIC ANALYSIS FOR IMPROVEMENT FATIGUE CHARACTERISTICS IN COLD EXPANDED HOLES" from December 14-17, 2007 held in BNM IT, Bangalore.
4. Director for AICTE sponsered IIPC cell
