Smart irrigation system for supplying and removing water using IoT technology
Agriculture always had been an integral part of the world and the backbone for developing countries for the Indian Subcontinent, which plays an important role in the economic growth of the country. Agriculture is the largest source of livelihood for the developing country nearly about 70 percent of its rural household still depends on agriculture. It has been more than 50 years of the green revolution but still, farmers are dependent on the rainwater. The government has spent millions and billions of rupees over farming but still, the condition of farmers and farming is disappointing. So, to overcome this gigantic problem farmer should acquire new technologies in which it will help them for smart farming. So, our system is used to scrutinize the temperature of the agriculture field based on the temperature sensor value it checks whether the environment is summer or winter, based on that crops should be planted in the field. The system checks the moisture of the soil with the help of soil moisture sensor then the system automatically supplies water to the field whenever the moisture of the soil is less than a threshold value. It also pumps out extra water from the field when moisture value is more than a threshold value. For this, we have used a temperature sensor to scrutinize the temperature and soil moisture sensor to take a reading of the moisture of soil and relay to switch ON/OFF the water pump. Also, a GSM Module is used for providing information about the field to farmers and LCD (Liquid Crystal Diode) is used to display the data of the field over the system. We have also used Arduino UNO to code our structure. The main objective of our system is to reduce the human effort in the field of agriculture and control over the gigantic problem of water in the field of agriculture.

Developement of poultry feed suplements for enhancing the productivity and perfoamance
Development of poultry feed supplements for enhancing productivity and performance The demand for protein source for humans in the form of chicken has been increased. Egg consumption has been recommended every day. So, people much depend on poultry food throughout the world. As per FAO (Food and Agricultural Organization) published data, meat production of 109,970 thousand metric tons in 2014 raised to 111,000 thousand metric tons in 2015 which is a 3% lower annual growth rate compared to the past 10 years. Largest poultry meat production is currently from the United States, China, European Union, and Brazil. As per FAO 2015 published data, it was expected that in 2024 the estimated meat production (x 1000 metric tons) of India will be 3521, which is very less compared to (US 24,424), China (23,112), Brazil (15,702). As per FAO, Egg production (x 1000 metric tons), India stands in the third position with 3835 which is less compared to the USA standing in the second position with 5636 and China at first position with 28,761. Poultry diets are formulated based on the nutrient requirements and their metabolism, checking the availability of nutrients from the feed ingredients, cost-effective. In developing countries, the unavailability of accustomed feedstuffs and an increase in the cost of the available feedstuffs are stopping the poultry productivity and it will be more in the future. So, this type of condition demands the immediate requirement of alternative feedstuffs that can be used on a wide range. To increase the poultry productivity, performance and healthy flocks, feed supplementations or additives are required instead of the daily feed uptake. Feed supplements provide constant energy, essential amino acids, proteins, vitamins and minerals with water or feed. Major feed additives used are Enzymes, Antibiotics, Coccidiostats, pigments, Antioxidants, Antifungals, etc. Antibiotics are used as growth promoters (AGP’s) in the past 50 years. The usage of AGPs in the feed lead to antimicrobial resistance development and passage of antibiotic resistance genes to human microbiota from animals. In this context, the European Union has banned the usage of antibiotics from January 1st, 2006 and made legislation to delete antibiotics from their European Registry of Feed additives. Some countries still using these AGP’s affecting their exports in the global market. AGP’s can be replaced by using direct-fed microbial (probiotics), Prebiotics - Fructooligosaccharides (FOS), mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), organic acids, plant extracts, proteins & peptides etc., The ban of the antibiotics raised the need of more feed supplements that can help in growth, health, productivity in terms of meat and eggs, fighting diseases caused by bacterial, viral, fungal & protozoans and combat the stress during transportation, vaccination, de-beaking, housing conditions, lighting etc., The present usage of feed supplements in the market are negligible. Feed supplements help in overcoming the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) issues and improves the feed intake that avoids the wastage. Feed supplements and additives are used in small amounts and careful while mixing with the feed for uniform distribution. The objectives involved in the development of feed additive depend majorly on the selection of individual feed additives and their combination without the loss of their efficacies is a challenge. Finally formulating the essential nutrients and non-nutritive additives that are non-essential but important depending on the requirement in the diet and flock conditions helps in the improvement of health and performance.

Status and prerequisite of English proficiency for engineers- An update
Communication is the universal attribute in human beings, its first trait being the exchange of information within. Language is the most common means of communication. The commanding status of English as a global language cannot be denied. English is the most frequently and extensively used language for business communication worldwide. A maximum part of the important content of the internet is in English though it facilitates translation options. A large part of important books pertaining to various disciplines, particularly science and technology are primarily published in English. In the engineering context, the professional world today essentiates the technocrats to be proficient in English. The last two decades have been the decades of globalization, because of the growing international commerce, financial and technological breakthroughs. The flux of innovations has united the issues or problems making the ones which were local, now becoming global. The technology world faces and is expected to deal with various issues at the global platform like cybercrime, identity theft, E-Banking Fraud, etc. In developing countries with the dominance of vernacular mother tongue, the usage of English is limited in students, this creates a gap in employability skills and hence creates a significant impediment in the hiring process of engineers with satisfactory technical skills. The futuristic technologies per se Artificial intelligence, 3D printing, blockchain, cloud computing, augmented and virtual reality, robotics and the like are driving us towards one world. Such a large-scale validation of English language could substantiate positive outcomes of grave issues on a multidimensional global scale and hence could further lead to unity of the world community, a true one world, which we often dream of.

Cursor tracking by sensory organs for handicapped people
A vision primarily based Human–Computer interface is conferred during this paper. The utilized image process ways embrace digital camera for investigation the face, and example matching method-based eye region detection. SVM classification methodology is employed for classifying the attention movements. The classification of eye movements like eye open, eye close, eyeball left, and eyeball right movements area unit used for indicator high, bottom, left and right movement severally. The interface relies on a notebook equipped with a typical internet camera and needs no further lightweight sources. All of these devices need manual management and can't be utilized by persons impaired in movement capability. There's a necessity for developing different ways of communication between human and laptop that might be appropriate for the persons with motor impairments and would provide them the chance to become a section of the knowledge Society. In Hough rework, circular methodology is employed to regulate the indicator movements. This technique is employed for physically disabled persons to work with the computers effectively just by their face movements.
