About Dr. Rishika Khare
I have been teaching for almost seven years. My career started with working as an Assistant Professor at the Department of Law, Prestige Institute of Management and Research, Indore in 2016. Thereafter, I joined NLUO in 2018 and have been working here ever since. Throughout my teaching career, I have particularly enjoyed teaching the subjects of Administrative, Constitutional Governance and Civil Liberties. My PhD is in the area of Climate Change and Waste Management. Currently, I am also exploring my research interest in the area of Public Health and Tobacco Control policies. Apart from work, I am putting in the effort to become a zero-waste person, though it’s a long and tough process! I love composting at home and I am an advocate for environmental consciousness and slow fashion.
