My Phd topic: “Thermodynamic Optimization of Biomass Gasification”.
Earlier, I worked (March 2012 to July 2018) as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Dean (Student Affairs) at Girijananda Chowdhury Institute of Management and Technology, Guwahati .
From 31st March, 2018 to 31st March, 2020 I worked as Principal-In-Charge of Girijananda Chowdhury Institute of Management and Technology (GIMT), Tezpur (www.gimt-tezpur.ac.in) .
I have worked as Principal of GIHM, Guwahati from 1st June 2020 to 30th November,2020 (www.gatewayihm.com)
I have joined as as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Assam Don Bosco University (https://dbuniversity.ac.in) on 1st December 2020.
In most of the online communities of Assamese people residing at various parts of the world, I am informing the positive developments of Assam on a regular basis from the year 2000.
Delivered lectures at more than 150 career counseling programmes as guest speaker in schools and colleges in various places of Assam and I have attended as a resource person more than 100 career counselling WEBINAR.
I serve the youth of Assam by answering their queries and giving free guidance on career related matters over phone(9435188630) every Saturday from 6P.M. to 9P.M.
I have taken part in different Career related program in different TV Channels and AIR Guwahati .
My career related articles and letters have been published in most of the major newpapers and magazines of Assam.
I have been honoured as one of the special 10 contributing in different fields by Jeevan magazine in the year 2011.
I have been recognised by “Prantik” magazine as Highest Letter Writer in the year 2011 for on various issues of the society.
