About Dr. Mallika K
I am Mallika K, completed graduation from University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur. I
received master and doctoral degree from University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur with
distinction. The PhD research work on Impact Assessment of Subsurface Drainage on Land and
Water Resources in Tungabhadra Command Area had been taken with my keen interest towards
this project because it would help the farmers for adopting subsurface drainage technology in
reclaiming/preventing the areas affected by the problems of water logging and salinity. I also
cleared National Eligibility Test during 2017. From 2017 to 2018, I worked in “Improved
Program Integration in Rainfed Areas and Intensive Hydrological Investigation under KWDP-II,
Sujala-III” project. During this period, discharged the duties of intensive hydrological
investigations of the watersheds including GIS and climatological, hydrological data set analysis,
field verifications and GIS mapping pertaining to operational watersheds under the project.
Currently I am working as a Senior Research Fellow in AICRP on “Plasticulture Engineering
and Technology” at University of Agricultural Sciences, Raichur. I had more than two years of
research experience in the field of Soil and Water Conservation Engineering and Techniques,
Watershed Management and Dry land Farming, Water Resource Development and Management,
Irrigation and Drainage Practices and remote sensing and GIS. I had published 9 articles in
National and International Journals with high naas rating and had presented 14 papers in
National and International conferences. I received “All Rounder” from College of Agricultural
Engineering, UAS, Raichur in 2012, awarded UGC Fellowship for PhD, programme during
2015-2017. Awarded Best Thesis for M.Tech, Research work in 2019. Proud life member for
Karnataka State Agricultural Engineers, Indian Society of Agricultural Engineers and Indian
Institute of Engineers.
