We study a model of neutrino within the framework of minimal extended seesaw (MES), which plays an important role in active and sterile neutrino phenomenology in (3+1) scheme. The flavor symmetry is augmented by additional symmetry to constraint the Yukawa Lagrangian of the model. We use non-trivial Dirac mass matrix, with broken symmetry, as the origin of leptonic mixing. Interestingly, such structure of mixing naturally leads to the non-zero reactor mixing angle . Non-degenerate mass structure for right-handed neutrino is considered so that we can further extend our study to Leptogenesis. We have also considered three different cases for sterile neutrino mass, to check the viability of this model, within the allowed 3σ bound in this MES framework.
