In this process, I have benefited greatly not only from the resources available on the Org-mode website but also from various people who generously provided solutions to my numerous queries on this mailing list. I felt that it may be of some use if I put together all the pieces and document what I was doing.

This looks like a workflow I may like.

A few comments:

I tried to export the .org to Latex and failed because it needed
tabulary and threeparttable.

They are used if you use vikas-general.org but as far as i understood the document that is just recommended.

I added the line 
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{tabulary,threeparttable}
to the document.

Another problem I had are the URLs in the section titles.
They cause problems when running the tex file a second time.

Runaway argument?
{R \(` `\045\BOOKMARK [2][-]{subsection.2.4}{Pandoc}{section.2}\BOOKMARK \ETC.
! File ended while scanning use of \@@BOOKMARK.
<inserted text> 
                \par 

You may want to move the URLs from the section title to the body.

You are using straight (") quotation marks in org and the LaTeX export has straight quotation marks. Is there a way to convert them to “” or \enquote?

You are using

: #+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [garamond]

which results in

\documentclass[garamond]{article}

But garamond is not a valid option for article.

I use this instead
#+Latex_HEADER: \usepackage{tgschola}

I tried ebgaramont, but that font does not contain TS1 support.

Now I have a printable version of your document and will have a closer look.
