Research and teaching are my lifetime passions. I am a staunch believer in indigenization of research; considering the context as important as the content itself. My motivation lies in students’ achievements and their development. My teaching and research have been diversified with the passage of time, besides my main interests in Ageing, CPEC, OBOR Social Security, Social Work, IR, Demography etc.
