About Us

Welcome to watercomilk.com

‘Watercomilk’ has a bilingual meaning. One stands for the short form of water, cold, and milk. These three terms stand for life, climate, and animal production. In Hindi, another meaning is the addition of milk to water. Our globe is now experiencing the most threat from global warming, causing climate change. Consequently, we are experiencing the scarcity of groundwater level, river death, alterations of agriculture system, shifting of animal habitat, etc.

As the climate is changing, the primary life resource, i.e., the water is also depriving in its quality and quantity. The high altitude region of the earth is also within the curve of this climate change. Then, how life on this earth may sustain for long.

Different Water Resources and Importance in Food Chain at trans-Himalayan High Altitude Region

In this context, we have to add ‘nutrition’ (milk) to our water so that water ‘health’ may sustain for all the life on this planet. From this day forward, I think we should worship our ‘Water Resources’ as we worship our ‘Goddess.’ Our small effort to save water resources and our day to day meticulous activity may excel to change human cruelty to our beloved ‘Earth.’

The site is dedicated to providing you with the very best of updated information on the effects of climate change on water resources, milk production in the dairy industry, and the agro-animal sector throughout the globe, especially in the high mountain region. Another aspect will be covered which is related to the biotechnological improvement to combat the changing climate, to retain our ‘Nature’ health, for utmost production in the agro-animal sector.

I Dr. Arup Giri completed my Ph.D. in Life Sciences from Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR), DRDO, Ladakh, India. My thesis title is “Studies on trace minerals and heavy metals status in different sources of water and their bioavailability in milking cattle at high altitude.” Earlier, I have completed my M.Sc. in Zoology, Maulana Azad College, Kolkata, University of Calcutta, in 2012. After submission of my thesis, I joined as an Assistant Professor in the Life Science Department of Arni University, Kathgarh, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India, from 20^th February 2018 to 28^th February 2019. I also worked as the Senior Research Fellow in an Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) funded project in the DRDO-Defence Institute of High Altitude Research (DIHAR), Chandigarh for one and half years.

I have published forty-five research articles in different peer-reviewed journals. I have also published three book chapters, two training manuals, one technical bulletin, and filed one patent. The citations of my article’s indices of Google Scholar reached 213 since the year 2016. H-index (H index is the largest number h such that h publications have at least h citations): 09 and i10-index (A journal’s total number of published papers with at least ten citations): 08.

I received the ‘Young Scientist Award,’ ‘Young Researcher Award,’ and ‘Best Oral Presentation Award” two times by different prestigious institutes of India. I also awarded “Rashtriya Gaurav Award” and “Amitabha Nandi Memorial Award.” I am a member of fourteen well-recognized societies all over the world.

During my teaching at Arni University, Himachal Pradesh, I have guided thirty-two students for their M.Sc. dissertation work. One of the projects entitled “Effects of Organic Manure on Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) Yield in Himachal Pradesh, India” has been awarded for the best M.Sc. dissertation work at the National Seminar on “Interface between Basic Science Research, Modern Technology, and Environmental Sustainability” at School of Applied Sciences, Sri Sai University, Palampur, Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India on 03^rd May 2019.

Now, I am working as an Asociate Professor of Baba Mastnath University, Rohtak, Haryana, India.
