Since my joining as lecturer on August 07’1990 to till date in the Department of Pathology, I have been teaching under-graduate and graduate students of B.Sc. in Ag. (Hon’s), M.S & Ph.D. on Plant Pathology. I was promoted to Assistant Professor on 15April,1996; Associate Professor on 11September, 2001 and Professor on 24 April,2007. As per seniority, I have been selected for Professor (Grade–1) on 01.01.2016. During more then 30 years of my teaching profession I have been enjoying my class room teaching and performing my responsibilities with utmost sincerity and punctuality. Along with classroom teaching research is mandatory for the University faculties. I have conducted a good number of research works on improvement of judiciary uses of chemicals, biological, cultural components and climatic issues for plant health management. Planning, designing, data analyzing, interpreting and publishing the research results in the national and international scientific journals are included in my research activities. Supervision of research projects by employing MS and Ph. D students funded by SAURES (Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University Research System) and other National &International Organizations on present plant health problems is my research responsibilities and I have performed my research duties with sincerity and commitment that yielded the academic degree of a good number of MS & Ph. D students and a lot of Scientific publications.
