I hail from a rural background, spending my formative years in a village named Anjira until the age of 15. Subsequently, I embarked on a seven-year journey in Bhubaneswar for my intermediate and undergraduate studies, followed by another five years at the prestigious Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), known globally as the cradle of the green revolution in India.
Growing up in a joint family has instilled in me a profound belief in the sanctity of family as an institution. My values, however, can be described as a blend of neither strictly orthodox nor entirely liberal; rather, they are tailored to the demands of each situation, akin to a mixed economy approach. I firmly adhere to an accommodative attitude, valuing inclusivity over exclusivity.
