Recent Trends in Renewable Energy Sources in India
As India is in a league of the most rapid development taking place in the country, hence it has to produce more and more energy to meet the consumption of the people with increase in the population, as in India most of the power generation in India is carried out by conventional energy sources, coal and mineral oil-based power plants which contribute heavily to greenhouse gases emission. This focuses the solution of the energy crisis on judicious utilization of abundant renewable energy resources. This paper reviews the renewable energy scenario of India.

Internet of Vehicle using Safety Case
In India, mortality rates are increasing mainly due to road accidents. Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and reach in time. The main aim of this project is to implement a system for upgrading the present technologies used in the vehicle security by developing a safety case. The safety case is used for continuously monitoring and storing data regarding the vehicle, which will be easy to discover the cause of the accident by knowing the previous state of the vehicle. Our project is a combination of client, connection, and cloud system. In this, the status of horn, brake, and indicator will be stored in Raspberry Pi and data logger system. Our research has been targeted towards building a system for emergency rescue services in the event of a road accident. The project focuses on building a system which vehicle safety authorities can implement to enhance the reporting of vehicle crashes, provide post-crash analysis using motion sensors, a record of the event in images and reduce the time it takes for emergency rescue to arrive at the crash location. We have achieved this using existing cellular network infrastructure already in place and also using GPS to pinpoint the exact location of the accident and send that data immediately to an emergency rescue authority using telegram and Twilio service. Our main target was to build a low-cost infrastructure that everyone can afford and use in their vehicle.

Urban SPRAWL Modelling for then using RS and GIS
Theni is the one of the Agricultural based city in Tamil Nadu due to the population increase its more urbanized. The urban Sprawl modelling for the Theni town was made and the comparative built up area was calculated. A comparative study of land use land cover of the Andipatty taluk under Theni district of Tamil Nadu was done using remote sensing and GIS techniques. The period under study was 2004-2017. Since in this 13 years there has been massive growth all over India the rate of growth was massive. Multi-temporal Landsat Imageries (LANDSAT 5 and LANDSAT 7) were obtained in this study. Arc GIS 10.4 had been used. Erdas Imagine 14 was used for land cover classification. It was classified into three categories: Built-up area, Vegetation and Water bodies. Land cover maps were generated and change detection analysis was performed. There was a steep rise in the built-up area and it continues to encroach on the forest and vegetation. There was also a second method where the area was digitized and land use was classified in ArcMap for two different years.

Early Performance of Eucalyptus Clones in Vindhyan Region of Uttar Pradesh, India
The present study was carried out to assess the early growth performance of Eucalyptus clones in Vindhyan region of Uttar Pradesh for identification of promising clones for the region. A clonal trial was established in the year 2016 in Vindhyan region of Eastern Uttar Pradesh with 19 clones to assess their suitability. The results of early growth performance evaluation of these clones after one year of planting were carried out for annual measurements of survival, total height, girth at breast height (gbh), soil chemical and physical analysis. The data were analyzed statistically. The results of early growth performance evaluation of these clones after one year of planting were carried out for annual measurements of height, girth at breast height (gbh) and soil analysis. The data were analyzed statistically. The highest value of increment in gbh belonged to clones 526 (9.04 cm) followed by 2136 (8.84 cm), P-50 (8.53 cm), P-14 (8.33 cm), P-32 (8.04 cm), 2023 (7.88 cm) and P-13 (7.81 cm) respectively, whereas the lowest values belonged to clone 3021 with 4.70 cm and control with 2.97cm. The clones with good height were P-50 (4.04 m), 526 (3.82 m), 2136 (3.76 m) and P-13 (3.73 m) .The remaining clones had different ranks of gbh and height increments as compared to the control. The other clones had different levels and differed to each other significantly. Therefore, in future, promising clones may be recommended to be planted in agro forestry for this specific region.

A Review on Plant Metabolites and Ayurvedic Medicine
From ancient times, Ayurveda has its own relevance and is known for its mystical effect. In Hindu mythology, during Satyug when Lord Hanuman went all the way to Himalayas to find a magical herb which had the power to cure any malady known as Sanjeevani booti (Selaginella bryopteris) to save the life of Lakshmana. Ayurveda marks its presence even today and has achieved different level of excellence. As it is said that Sanjeevani glowed in dark, so did the Ayurveda or science of life. It is an ancient system of natural and holistic medicine which broadly utilizes the secondary metabolites released from certain plants. Like in Ashwagandha various secondary metabolites are present like Withaferin A which has anti-cancer properties. It also has great effect on anxiety, diabetes, high cholesterol, arthritis, tumours, tuberculosis and a number of other diseases. Formation of memories can also be improved using Ashwagandha, so it is used to treat Alzheimer’s disease. In this presentation we will discuss the process for obtaining the secondary metabolites from various medicinally important plants. For obtaining these vital secondary metabolites a suitable extraction technique is also mandatory. Extraction is an important step for the isolation of phytochemicals from plant materials. A specific technique and optimization of various parameters can be utilized for the isolation of a peculiar type of secondary metabolites. In this paper we have discussed some of the main ingredients found in some of the most powerful medicinal plants which includes Withaferin A extracted from Withania somnifera, digoxin from Digitalis purpurea and Morphine from Papaver somniferum. We have also discussed some of the most suitable processes which are used for their extraction depending on their properties. Like in Withaferin A, we used solvent extraction and cell suspension culture for its isolation. We have also discussed their role in the treatment of present diseases. A newer approach is also introduced of derivatization of active ingredient which leads to its enhancing effect which can be highly useful to produce or synthesize more effective drugs.

IoT based Healthcare Kiosk
A lot of research has been carried out in the field of healthcare monitoring. In recent years, development of patient monitoring system has emerged as an area of research. In this article, a patient monitoring system is proposed. The proposed system framework integrated web services with multiple sensors controlled by Arduino Uno. We proposed a model which monitors various health parameters like heart rate (BPM), body Temperature, blood pressure (mmHg), height and weight of an individual. The collected data through the system is then transferred over the internet to a smartphone application as well as standalone computers. The doctor can then prescribed the medication based on the data results shown by the system. The designed prototype will reduce the burden on patients to visit the doctor every time for monitoring of these health parameters.
