Working for Nature, amidst Nature in rural, peri-urban locations. I have operated on issues concerning with Groundwater management & conservation (Chhatarpur Khajuraho Jhansi belt-drought prone region, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh). I discovered and worked on various life threating challenges for accessing water in rural remote locations and conserving it to enhance ground water levels in this drought prone regions. Water cannot be conserved or managed in isolation hence along with it came the environment conservation and management practices that would enhance the livelihood of villagers who face survival threats otherwise, due to unavailability of water-food. Focusing on using renewable sources of energy- Solar energy (casespecific) for making water available on surface.
Climate change has aggravated the already vulnerable situation of these people, hence carbon sequestration, nature based solutions to combat the situation was worked on.

Graduating from KRVIA – M.Arch_Architectural & Urban conservation helped me broaden my mind to learn about Urbanization, Impacts on People and the Environment. The learnings were direct from site to establish lived experience with the impacts of current happenings-Development/ Climate Change/ peoples’ responses. This provided a good base to think practically about the solutions that could be implemented to better the situation.
