| Permian Palaeobotany : |
Studies are focused mainly on morphological, structural, palaeoecological and evolutionary characteristics of Glossopteris floral elements of different Indian Gondwana sedimentary basins viz. Damodar, Satpura, Wardha, Godavari. Additionally, studied Permian plant megafossils of Arunachal Pradesh (North East India).

|
| Dispersed angiospermous cuticles : |
Studies focused on morphotaxonomical, structural and palaeoecological aspects of dispersed angiospermous leaf cuticles.Additionally, estimated palaeo carbondioxide (pCO2) through stomatal index analysis.
