Dr. Meena
Dr. Meena, born into a farming family, is a researcher in the Department of Agronomy at IAS, BHU, Varanasi. He holds fellowships from prestigious academies including the National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI), the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), the National Academy of Biological Sciences (NABS), the Indian Society of Agronomy (ISA), and the Society for Rapeseed-Mustard Research (SRMR). He was awarded the Raman Fellowship by the Ministry of Education for research in the USA, working with Prof. Rattan Lal. He also served as an INSA visiting scientist at ISARC-IRRI.
Dr. Meena’s research focuses on natural resource management and the recycling of farm and industrial waste for improved soil health. He investigates energy flow, atmospheric CO2 capture, carbon credit and auditing, and eco-friendly techniques for sustainable food systems and soil regeneration. His work is evidenced by high-impact publications and farmer-level extension activities. He has guided 8 PhD and 29 Master’s students and completed 10 externally funded projects.
With an H-index of 76, an I-10 index of 222, and over 17,250 citations, his research significantly contributes to understanding soil carbon stability, microbial and nutrient dynamics in diversified cropping systems, and climate-smart agricultural practices for tribal communities. He has also been involved in agricultural extension activities in villages identified by the Prime Minister of India. His future work aims to reduce soil organic carbon oxidation and enhance its stability in agroecosystems, thereby enabling farmers to benefit from carbon credits.
