Profile
Dr. Sanyam began his academic journey with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture with Honors from Anand Agricultural University, Anand. This comprehensive program provided him with a solid foundation in various aspects of agricultural sciences, including crop production, soil science, plant pathology, entomology and agricultural economics. His undergraduate education was characterized by hands-on learning and a deep understanding of the principles and practices essential for successful agricultural management.
Building on his undergraduate education, Dr. Sanyam pursued a Master of Science in Agriculture with a specialization in Genetics and Plant Breeding from Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. During his master's studies, he focused on advanced topics related to genetic improvement of crops, exploring the principles of heredity, genetic variation, and plant breeding techniques. His master's thesis involved rigorous research aimed at enhancing yield attributing traits in Finger millet (Eleusine coracana), demonstrating his commitment to addressing under developed crop species and its real-world challenges.
Dr. Sanyam's academic pursuits culminated in a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Genetics and Plant Breeding from Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. His doctoral research was centered on the genetic enhancement of Rice (Oryza sativa), employing both conventional breeding methods and modern biotechnological tools. Throughout his Ph.D. program, he conducted extensive research on developing rice varieties with improved performance under diverse environmental conditions. In addition to his formal degrees, Dr. Sanyam achieved a significant milestone by clearing the ASRB-NET with an impressive score of 68.44%.
Having a robust background in academia, Dr. Sanyam’s teaching portfolio includes undergraduate courses in genetics, plant breeding, and agricultural sciences. Moreover, he has led and participated in numerous research projects aimed at improving crop varieties through conventional breeding methods. His qualifications, dedication and teaching prowess make him an invaluable asset to GUNI-KKIASR and to the entire field of Genetics and Plant Breeding.
