Before joining NALSAR University of LawI worked as in-charge Principal of Manair Law College, Khammam for four years, besides being a law teacher at the same institute.That original exposure has always made me view administrative work as an integral part of my official duties.I can be aptly described as a law teacher who has nearly two decades of experience and is also actively involved in the administration oflegal education institutions.Currently, I assist the administration by overseeing post graduate legal education as Chairperson of the Post Graduate Legal Education Centre and co-curricular activities as Convener of the Moot Court Committee. In the past I have also worked as convener of University examination committee.

I have been actively involved in organizing various training programs and conferences on behalf of the University. Some of the training programs coordinated by me include advocates training programs funded by Ministry of Law of Justice and Ministry of Environment and Forests, south India law teachers training program in association with British Council, month long training programs for advocates aspiring to be judges. I have coordinated the International conference on consumer law in association with International association of consumer law the first ever conference of the organization in India.

The setting up of the legal aid cell and coordinating its activities is amongst my passionate ventures at the University. I am actively involved in outreach programs and have taken steps to ensure the setting up of legal aid clinics within and outside the University.

My nonacademic interests include watching regional politics and telugu movies.
