I have worked as a coordinator for Vishwakarma Project at Gujarat Technological University. As a part of the project, I have designed and planned rural infrastructure like schools, public health centers, shopping markets, closed drainage, low-cost roads, and sustainable shelters for 4-5 villages keeping their environment and social and cultural needs intact.

I was the conveyer of the Indian Green Building Council’s student Chapter. I have organized expert lectures on Disaster management, climate change risks and mitigations, green building infrastructure design, and evaluation criteria. I have experience in conducting qualitative and quantitative research. I have a good command of statistical techniques like Regression Analysis, Chi-square test, ANOVA test, and Factor analysis using SPSS software. I Show less
