International associate of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Cradle of Life International Science Working Group (SWG) which provide input to the Square Kilometre Array Organisation (SKAO) on issues relating to the design, commissioning, and future operations of the SKA to address many fundamental science questions using SKA in the future such as (i) What accounts for the diversity in planetary systems? (ii) Are terrestrial planets common in the habitable zone? (iii) Do gas giant planets form in the inner disk or do they migrate there? (iv) What are the implications for Earth-like planets? and representative of NISER to the Square Kilometre Array Indian Consortium (SKAIC).
