I ensured variety in content by including a good mix of reports from a wide range of areas. Holds the credit for introducing a special edition of Sainik Samachar in July 2013 when Uttarakhand was ravaged by floods. Changed the entire layout of the fortnightly through strategic planning and conceptualization of the content as well as the look to make it at par with any other magazine on the stands, unlike its earlier 'sarkari' look.
