The focus is on technologies that help develop and improve society, in particular on issues such as the betterment of differently abled people, environment impact, livelihood, rural employment, agriculture, healthcare, energy, transport, sanitation, water, education. This conference aims to help innovators to share their best practices or products developed to solve specific local problems which in turn may help the other researchers to take inspiration to solve problems in their region. On the other hand, technologies proposed by expert researchers may find applications in different regions. This offers a multidisciplinary platform for researchers from a broad range of disciplines of Science, Engineering and Technology for reporting innovations at different levels.

The Turkish mafia dominates the world's heroin trade. Customs officers estimate they supply 80% of the 'smack' that reaches Britain. Yet they have remained a mysterious and deadly group, little understood. In this landmark book, the authors trace the intriguing history of the babas, or godfathers, and reveal for the first time the historic conclave in September 1980 when the babas carved up Europe between them and changed the face of the international drug trade. Today, the babas have moved into the ecstasy trade and people smuggling. This is their untold story.
