Dr Dyanashwer Arjun Madane: His Ph.D. topic was approved recommendation at the State-level Joint Agresco, 2016–17, at VNMKV, Parbhani, Maharashtra. As a Research Associate under the RKVY project at Dapoli, he demonstrated water harvesting techniques. He received the ‘Young Scientist Award–2019’ from the Agricultural Technology Development Society, Ghaziabad, during the 3^rd International Conference at Tribhuvan University, Nepal. He has guided two M.Sc./M.Tech students and co-guided two others. With over six years of experience in Irrigation Water Management, Pressurized Irrigation, Protected Cultivation, and crop water stress modeling, he has published 30 research articles in reputed NAAS-rated international journals, one book chapter, and ten popular articles. He completed over ten professional trainings, including an eight-week program on Remote Sensing and GIS at IIRS, Dehradun. Recently, he guided three B.Tech. Student projects on GeoAI for land and water management. He won the best poster presentation award at one day conclave of Emerging technologies for SMART and sustainable Agriculture scheduled on March, 2025
