  In pursuance of the vision of continuing herculean task of nation building, Gandhinagar University has been making sincere efforts to promote excellence in education. There is constant endeavor to bring holistic approach through multidisciplinary education.

The perspective of Gandhinagar University is “high quality pedagogy plus choice-based credit system” with continuous performance management of the students to transform them to ‘ready for industry’ in accordance with the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Most of the programs of this University cover internship with local industry and businesses with research and innovation focus. The students at this University are determined to accept the challenges globally. In this context, I must state that it is a substantial fact that the Innovation Cell of this University has been rated by Ministry of Education, Government of India at 3.5 out of scale of 4.

This is the University that promote the students all faceted development of wellness- not only physical fitness but also psycho-social well- being with ethical mind-set to achieve specified learning outcomes as all our programs are outcome based. This young Gandhinagar University has been awarded as ‘Prominent University for Futuristic Education’ by Divya Bhaskar this year. The University achieved many laurels of excellence in its short time of establishment and is striving hard to accomplish many more.

I would like to congratulate the ICDSIA Team for their Commitment and superb drive in organizing this conference. Such a huge conference cannot be organized without the whole-hearted commitment and involvement of many people, be it faculty or students or sponsors. I admire their commitment and congratulate them on the success of the conference. I also profusely thank all the sponsors for their effort to encourage academic research by way of liberal sponsorships. I am very certain that this occasion will be able to provide a platform towards strengthening our relationships in knowledge sharing while at the same time providing the necessary thrust in joint research collaborations within the research society. It is my aspiration that this conference is a foundation for the growth of new ideas towards a better tomorrow. I congratulate all the researchers whose research papers are published in this Issue and express my sincere thanks to their mentors and referees. I congratulate the GU-JET committee who have worked determinedly to conceptualize and compile this fifteenth volume of GU-JET publication.
