General Information
Dr. Sanyam holds a Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Breeding from Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. His research focused on improving rice varieties using both traditional breeding methods and modern biotechnological tools. During his Ph.D., he worked on developing rice varieties with better performance under different environmental conditions. He has also cleared the ASRB-NET exam, further demonstrating his expertise in the field. He has a strong academic background and teaches undergraduate courses in genetics, plant breeding, and agricultural sciences. He has been involved in several research projects aimed at enhancing crop varieties through conventional breeding. His contributions include seven research papers, three book chapters, and three articles. With his knowledge, dedication, and teaching skills, he is a valuable asset to GUNI-KKIASR and the field of Genetics and Plant Breeding.
