Our aim is to integrate research & development with academics and encourage our faculty and students to carry on research in their respective areas of interest. The University is focused on interdisciplinary, collaborative and community based research which will help to generate excellent technologies responding to the needs of local, national and global interests. Creation of an agriculturally literate society is not only essential but is the need of the hour and our team from the Department of Agriculture strives to help the students in the learning process. Our Agricultural Education Program aims at raising awareness for food and farming. We inspire young people to think more deeply about sustainable agriculture, food supply and the role of science in this context. We also help students and the rural community specially farmers to learn entrepreneurship to become change makers. We aspire to be a vibrant community with a focus on teaching, learning and community based research. Our faculty members are experts in their fields and professionals in their own right who bring creativity, ingenuity and resourcefulness in the mind of students. We believe in fostering pioneering minds and nurturing intellectuality in individuals.

ABOUT THE CONFERENCE ICETSA will be held on 21st - 22nd April, 2018 wherein we would be inviting Academician from different Institutes/ Colleges/ Universities, Industry Professionals, Research Scholars, Student, Entrepreneurs, Government Experts and Bureaucrats to participate in Invited Talks and Paper Presentation. Selected abstracts will be published in the souvenir of the conference and accepted papers will be published in UGC approved journals. All submissions will be reviewed by group of peers for assurance of technical merit and quality content. It is anticipated that a broad range of emerging technologies, systems and applications will be covered during the conference. The conference aspires to exhibit the technical excellence of budding technocrats, research scholars, representatives from all over the world. This conference is sponsored by Govt. bodies, Institutes of technical and international repute & industries. PREFACE This Special issue of the UGC Approved International Journal of Advance & Innovative Research (IJAIR) contains peer-reviewed manuscripts presented at the “International Conference on Emerging Technologies, Systems and Applications (ICETSA-2018)” held during 21st -22nd April, 2018. The journal is published by the Indian Academicians and Researchers Association (IARA). Jharkhand Rai University organized this conference with an aim to achieve the goal of sharing and enhancing scientific and technological knowledge especially in the emerging areas. It is expected that the useful discussions and research outcomes presented during this Conference would help in using technological and scientific developments to ameliorate basic problems faced by poorer sections of the society. The Conference provided a good opportunity both to those who have a thirst for knowing about present technological developments as well as those who needed a platform to share their original research ideas. More than 100 papers were presented in ICETSA-2018 and 20 of them after peer-review have been selected for publication in this special issue of IJAIR. The topics bring together ideas from contrasting fields like information technology, agriculture, management, mathematics and physical sciences. The aim however, of both the Conference as well as the choice of papers for this special issue, has been to highlight the application of modern research for solving problems of the poor masses living in developing and under-developed countries. One of the papers discusses the possible use of data mining for prediction of heart diseases. It can be a very useful research specially considering the increasing number of deaths occurring due to heart ailments in our cities these days. Two other papers review the role of information technology in financial inclusion and the use of personal digital assistants. They highlight aspects of our changing society which is slowly making a transition towards a technological society, where a lot of our basic needs are going to be effectively fulfilled through use of modern technology. One of the papers from agricultural research shows how grass extracts can be used for antioxidative synergistic purposes. The work can help in curing and preventing critical diseases, at effectively minimal price. Another research discusses the possible use of catalytic waste water for agricultural irrigation, while another paper suggests a solar desalination system for water purification in disaster affected areas. One paper focuses particularly on Ranchi (the host city of this Conference) and discusses the ground water recharge potential of the city. These three papers aim to provide technological solutions for the huge problem of water scarcity on whose edge the whole world is standing at the present moment. Another refreshing paper studies the role of tribal women of Jharkhand (the host state of the Conference) in guarding agricultural biodiversity. A bio-technological research study highlights how Gamma radiations can be used to increase the agricultural yield, while another paper discusses antibacterial screening of edible crabs. One more study focuses on evaluation of genotypes against maize stem borer, while another one discusses the possible emulsification use of bacteria extracted from soil contaminated by crude oil. One more study in this field that needs mention is one that brings out various aspects of green marketing in India. These studies can go a long way in solving our agricultural problems and specially provide alternative and efficient methods to farmers, who in the present day are getting caught in debt-traps often leading to suicides. Two engineering studies deal with the effect of carbon doping and the simulation of friction stir welding. Some of the other interesting papers deal with the impact of human resource audit on value creation and delivery, anthropometric features of the children of Siliguri town, teaching practices in business schools of Jharkhand, use of mathematical models and inventory control in automobile retail sector, and construction of newer norms for combined motor fitness tests. The conference proved to be a good small step in bridging the gap between researchers working in academia and other professionals working in industry and service sector. As the convener of the Conference, I hope that this Special Issue will also prove to be successful in furthering our overall aim of converging technological developments with societal problems. Such a large conference was the culmination of the untiring effort of many individuals, including the faculty members, management, non- teaching staff and students of Jharkhand Rai University. I take this opportunity to once again thank the conference committee for extending their valuable time in organizing this conference, all the authors, participants, reviewers, sponsors, and the publication team at IARA for their sparkling efforts and their belief in the excellence of ICETSA-2018.
