During his career in KLD Board, he could standardize the procedure of cattle embryo transfer in crossbred cattle and achieved the embryo collection rate of 6-7 viable embryos per super ovulation with a conception rate of 50%. The world’s first direct frozen embryo transfer crossbred calf under tropical condition was produced by him on 23rd June 1996.He could impart training in cattle embryo transfer to 40 veterinarians and in the field of Animal Production Sciences to around 2000 veterinarians from all over India and from other countries like Ethiopia and Srilanka. He got an opportunity to work as one of the four members in the central monitoring committee constituted by Government of India for evaluation and accreditation of Embryo Transfer laboratories in India and to prepare Minimum Standard Protocol for the production and transfer of cattle Embryo.

Under this project he could set up a laboratory for camel embryo transfer and could meet a success rate of 6 viable embryos per super ovulation with 60% transfer success.
In Decemeber 2012, he got an oppurtunity to work for a research project on cloning in camel. The project was established under the patronage and guidance of H.H.Sheikh Hamadan Bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Makhtoum,Crown Prince of Dubai.
