Significant contributions relating to the relevant field of specialization
1. Development of Individual farmer based groundwater recharge structure for augmenting groundwater resources, improving its quality and farmers income. Based on this got ICAR Hariom Ashram Trust Award in NRM in 2017.
2. Soil matric potential based irrigation strategies of direct seeded rice.
3. Modelling the impact of climate change in fresh groundwater zones of Haryana
4. Sub-surface drainage technology for reclamation of waterlogged saline soils and improving rural livelihoods
5. Standardization of electromagnetic induction techniques for rapid assessment of soil salinity
6. Improvement in physical, chemical and biological properties of saline soil through combined use of municipal solid waste compost and chemical fertilizers under mustard-pearl millet cropping system.
7. Improvement in Soil Physical Health through Amendments and Hydrogel Applications in a Soybean–Wheat Cropping System
