Dr.  Rajni Jain

 

Dr. Rajni Jain obtained the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Jawaharlal Nehru University in 2005.The title of her thesis was “Rough set based Decision Tree Induction for Data Mining.  Rajni Jain obtained her M.Sc. degree in the discipline of Computer Application from P.G. School, Indian Agricultural Research Institute in 1991 with a gold medal for her outstanding academic performance. Earlier in 1988, Rajni Jain obtained her B.Sc. degree in Physics Hons. From Hansraj College, Delhi University. Rajni joined as Scientist (Computer Applications) in July 1996 at National Centre for Agricultural Economics and Policy Research (NCAP), India and presently working as Senior Scientist there. Rajni Jain made important and useful contributions to the discipline of agricultural economics by planning, design and development of an online information system of agricultural economists (www.agrieconet.nic.in). Rajni Jain is also responsible for making NCAP IT enabled by utilizing latest tools, techniques and technology in the field of Information Technology. Her research interests include applications of data mining techniques and development of decision support systems for agriculture domain. Rajni Jain has contributed several research papers in national / international journals / conferences / workshops / seminars. Some publications in last 5 years are listed below.
