Technologies for Energy, Agriculture, and Healthcare

Energy, Agriculture and Healthcare are key areas which address the development of the nation. Technology plays a vital role in the development of Energy, Agriculture and Healthcare. Development in sustainable Energy technologies will fulfill energy requirements for the long run. Technologies in agriculture will enable farmers to increase yield. Technology in healthcare will improve medical facilities. In today's world technology related to automation, computing, data analysis, sensor, AI/ML, and IoT drives growth in the Energy, Agriculture and Healthcare sector. There is enormous potential to explore, utilize and upgrade technologies in energy, agriculture and healthcare sector. This motivates to organize this conference which provides platform for researchers to exchange/showcase their research findings in the field of energy, agriculture and healthcare. We intend to attract high quality submission by following rigorous review process. There are conferences organized in recent times on advanced technologies independently focusing on energy, agriculture and healthcare. However our conference provides a single and integrated platform for researchers working in the area of energy, agriculture and healthcare with focus on use of IT tools in these area. Our conference is specifically focused on research in the area of Energy, agriculture and healthcare. The conference provides a platform for young researchers and Ph.D. scholars to showcase/share their research findings and get peer reviews and inputs to go further meticulously in their research area. Our conference will be organized in the hybrid mode, which will encourage researchers all over the world to participate and interact with peer researchers. Researchers will get exposure to best practices in their research area. We will be following the peer review process with a plagiarism check to maintain the originality and quality of the research paper. Under each track, researchers will be encouraged by awarding best paper.
