Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (NewsVoir) Somaiya Vidyavihar University, built on the proud 84-year legacy of the Somaiya Trust, successfully hosted the 2nd International Conference on Technologies for Energy, Agriculture, and Healthcare (ICTEAH-2025). Organised by the K J Somaiya School of Engineering, the conference brought together researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore transformative technologies shaping our collective future. The conference was inaugurated in the presence of distinguished dignitaries, including Dr. Sanjay Jambhulkar (Senior Scientist, BARC), Prof. V N Rajasekharan Pillai (Vice Chancellor, SVU and former Chairman, UGC), Dr. Suresh Ukarande (Director & Dean, K J Somaiya School of Engineering, Somaiya Vidyavihar University), Dr. Nandkumar Gilke (Registrar, SVU), and Dr. Shailesh Nikam (Organising Secretary and Professor). 'A new domain of epidemics is emerging from environmental risk factors. Climate change, even a rise of just 0.5 to 1 degree in temperature, is impacting 12% of the population by exacerbating heat-related diseases. Additionally, exposure to various artificial environmental agents poses significant health risks. This has led to the rise of exposomics, a new discipline focused on understanding the health effects of environmental exposures. Given these challenges, healthcare remains a critical focus area worldwide,' said Prof. V N Rajasekharan Pillai, Vice Chancellor, Somaiya Vidyavihar University. With over 120 delegates, the conference featured 93 paper presentations and 7 posters, creating a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange in clean energy, precision agriculture, and digital healthcare. Selected papers will be published by Taylor & Francis with individual DOIs and will be submitted for Scopus indexing, significantly contributing to the global body of academic research. The highlights of the conference were dignitaries from various fields. Dr. Sanjay Jambhulkar (Senior Scientist, BARC) spoke about the use of new technologies in agriculture and food security, emphasising their critical role in building sustainable food systems. Dr. Sudhir Ranjan Jain (Somaiya Vidyavihar University) presented insights into quantum computation for energy, highlighting its potential to revolutionise energy systems and contribute to sustainability. Dr. Nandkumar Kunchge (Director, K J Somaiya Institute of Applied Agricultural Research, Sameerwadi) presented regenerative agriculture methods which are hoping to take agriculture back to its deep connection with Mother Nature. Dr. S. D. Sharma (Founder Auflows CardioTech Pvt. Ltd. and Retired Professor from IIT Bombay) presented palliative surgical procedures required for congenital heart disease patients having Univentricular hearts to help their pulmonary circulation. 'Energy, agriculture, and healthcare are the three critical pillars of our future. With rising population and urbanisation, the demand for renewable energy (i.e. solar, wind, tidal, and hydrogen) is only going to increase. Research in these areas is not just ongoing, it's essential. Tomorrow's breakthroughs may come from innovations and research e.g 2cm x 2cm solar panel generating the same power as today's larger systems (2m x 2m). This is where scientists, academicians, and industry leaders must come together to solve real-world challenges," said Dr. Suresh Ukarande, Director & Dean, K J Somaiya School of Engineering, Somaiya Vidyavihar University. In recognition of outstanding contributions, Best Paper Award from each domain were presented to Dr. Sarika Bukkawar, Mr. Haseen Shaikh, Ms. Sonia Pol and Mr. Nitish Yadav. Further, the best poster award was given to Ms. Alka Dattatray Gadakh.

APSCHE to adopt cluster-based approach to align edu with industry
Vijayawada: The Andhra Pradesh State Council of Higher Education (APSCE) is proposing cluster-based approach to promote the higher education and to generate employment in different districts basing on the availability of resources and potential for growth of different industries, said Prof K Madhu Murthy, chairman of the APSCHE. He said the APSCHE has understood that there is some gap between the education and needs of the industry. He said APSCHE is working with the state government to promote education offering different courses in different areas to fulfil the requirements of skilled manpower for the industries while facilitating the youth to be gainfully employed and also meeting the local needs of the MSME industries. He said Andhra Pradesh state has potential to produce a wide variety of products with available natural resources and talented entrepreneurs. He said every district has its own significance with the state government developing specific sectors of industry and education can supplement the growth of these major manufacturing or service sector hub. He said the universities are ready to design higher education curriculum revised to meet the requirements of specific industry/sector, either small, medium or large, making education more purposeful for the economic and social wellbeing of the society. Prof Madhu Murthy speaking to The Hans India explained how the APSCHE is planning to revise academic curriculum and work with the industry heads, entrepreneurs, the chamber of commerce and industry and with the department of industries. He said, as part of Swarna Andhra the state government has identified various clusters for development of specific sectors at Visakhapatnam has vast potential to grow as IT, Medtech and pharmaceutical hub, Anantapur for automobile, electronics and Amaravati as Knowledge hub with Quantum Valley and Tirupati for IT industry, similarly earmarking aquaculture, agriculture, tourism, ports and logistics, circular economy based opportunities, where some districts are well known for different types of produce and where scope exists to generate jobs by imparting quality of education locally. Prof Murthy said as per the curriculum the APSCHE Internship Programme is mandatory for the students as part of the government's mission to skill and empower students through experiential learning so as to boost student employability and industry exposure. Internships in association with AICTE, UGC, NASSCOM and other industries are offered either by paying stipend or free (unpaid) to offer high-value certification where students can choose their preferred internship domain. Interns will complete training modules either physical or online or hybrid mode, work on real-time projects, and receive certificates. Prof Murthy said AP Industrial and Infrastructure Development corporation of India (APIIC) is developing industrial clusters based on the parameters like demand and the availability of the products in the surrounding areas of the cluster locations by availing Government of India grants. He said the APSCHE is inviting the industry heads to discuss with the academicians, the department of industries and other stake holders to chalk out a strategy to follow industrial cluster based approach in education so that the youth are future ready and improve employment situation while meeting the needs of the industry and the society. General complaint from the industrial sector in the state is that the students, who completed technical education don't have practical knowledge and basic skills to perform their day-to-day duties. He said the education curriculum should be changed as the students be educated and trained ready to work. Prof Madhu Murthy said the APSCHE is inviting the industry heads to come up with suggestions and guidance what kind of trained students and manpower they needed that will contribute to the development of industry as well as state economy. Industrial and Problem Oriented Research of Universities in collaboration with industry would further help all the stakeholders. He said the government recently conducted a meeting to discuss how to fulfill the needs of the industry and generate employment in the state. He felt there is a need to convene stake holders meeting of industries, government departments, academicians and educational institutions regularly to chalk out a strategy how to go ahead to teach and train students who can fulfill the needs of the industry and to grow as professionals. He underlined the need to introduce advanced courses like Artificial Intelligence, cyber security, sensors, semiconductors, etc. which have great prospects in India and abroad. He said the APSCHE is giving priority to design thinking, which will help the students deal with the problem and internship for all students and involvement in community programmes. He said the AP government has signed MoUs with TCS, L&T, IBM to set up Ratan Tata Innovation Hub and proposes to give boost for Quantum research and innovation. He hoped that AP will become manufacturing hub in the country with cluster-based industrial growth and will generate employment locally by imparting professional skills to meet the requirements of the industry within a very short period.
