Dr. Somsubhra Chakraborty, a Louisiana State University (USA) alumnus is presently the faculty member in the Agricultural and Food Engineering Department at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, India. He has worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at West Virginia University, USA. His research areas include portable proximal soil sensor measurement, digital soil mapping, mobile image-based soil analysis, and app development. Moreover, he has proved the applicability of portable XRF to quantify several soil properties and soil heavy metal contents. Dr. Chakraborty has developed a patented methodology for combining multiple proximal soil sensors to improve the predictive accuracy relative to the individual technique in isolation on the analyte of interest (US patent US-2017-0122889-A1) titled "Portable Apparatus for Soil Chemical Characterization". He has on-going collaborations with scientists from several countries including the USA, Canada, Romania, Brazil, China, and Morocco. He has received the Australia Awards Fellowship (2016) and Shastri Scholar Travel Subsidy Grant (2019-20). With more than 50 peer-reviewed publications in reputed international journals, Dr. Chakraborty has an h-index of 23 and i10 index of 41. He is an editorial advisory board member of Geoderma (Elsevier), the global journal of soil science. He is currently supervising five Ph.D. students and co-supervising two Ph.D. students. Dr. Manoj Parihar is currently working at ICAR-Vivekananda Parvatiya Krishi AnusandhanSansthan, Almora, India as a Soil Scientist in Crop Production Division. He did his graduation from SKRAU, Bikaner and selected as ICAR-JRF fellow for post-graduation in Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi. He has been awarded doctorate from the same university in the year 2018. He has received various recognitions such as ICAR-SRF, UGC-BSR, UGC-RGNF etc. His research works extend to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal diversity, ecological functions and inoculum production aspects for improving soil health and sustainable agricultural production. He has edited two books, and published >10 book chapters and >25 peer-reviewed journal papers. Dr. Vijay Singh Meena, working as a Project Coordinator at International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT)-Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA). He worked as Scientist at ICAR-Vivekananda Parvatiya Krishi Anusandhan Sansthan, Almora, India. His research areas include various aspects of soil aggregation, carbon management index and carbon and nitrogen sequestration potential under different land types and cropping systems of north-western Indian Himalayas. He identified carbon management index as the key indicator to measure soil degradation in different agroecosystems. His research revealed that the application of FYM and vermicompost along with vegetative barrier across the slope are highly effective in sustaining the soil quality. He reported that potassium solubilizing rhizobacteria (KSR) enhances 25-40% potassium (K) availability and help plants to uptake K from the soils. Dr. Meena identified that the combined application of organic and inorganic sources is important in sustaining the productivity of Himalayan soils and prevent soil erosion. Combined use of FYM and inorganic fertilizers on equal N basis (50 + 50 FYM) resulted in higher productivity of maize and wheat crops than an individual source. However, in-situ green manuring and inorganic fertilizers on equal N basis (50 + 50 GM) resulted in reduction of runoff and soil loss, maintained system productivity, leading to the conservation of natural resources in soils of maize-wheat cropping system.He is instrumental in the preparation and distribution of >4000 soil health cards to different hill farmers at the current institute. He recently reported the carbon and nitrogen sequestration potential of different land use and cropping systems in Indian Himalayas. He also edited seven Springer books on microbes and agricultural sustainability. He has received several scholarship and awards during his academic and professional career. In a nutshell, Dr. Meena is working in the field of natural resources management for sustainable agricultural production. He has an h-index 43, i10-index 77 with more than 5200 citations in international literature. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Mishra is presently working as Vice Chancellor of Jharkhand Technical University. Previously he was Professor (HAG) Chemical Engineering, IIT (BHU) and former head of the Department of Chemical Engineering at IIT (BHU) Varanasi.
