My research connects indigenous agricultural knowledge with modern communication strategies. I focus on farmer awareness, technology adoption, sustainable practices, and extension systems that feel participatory instead of one-directional.
ICT Extension
Digital extension systems, Android learning tools, and media-led agricultural communication.
Participatory Learning
Survey design, needs assessment, mixed methods, interviews, and field engagement.
Sustainable Practice
Environmental knowledge, cotton cultivation, orchard systems, soil health, and pollination.
Doctoral Work
