This seminar will provide a common platform for scientists, teachers and academicians to exchange their ideas. The qualified scientific manpower can be exploited for the sustainable development. Continuous new innovations will solve the problems faced by the industry. Chemistry has always been playing a key role in all round development of mankind. The tremendous potential of chemical science to offer eco-friendly and low cost option of water treatment and sustainable agricultural production can be exploited for the welfare of humankind. Nanoscience, industries adopting the principle of green chemistry, climate change and food security and reclamation of waste water along with integrated water resource management are some of the important fields which should be emphasized for the betterment of the society. Further the principle of green chemistry should be followed by the industries in practice for causing lesser damage to the environment. In the context of economical and technical development, the world always had been better than yesterday at the cost of environment. So loss of biodiversity, habital destruction, global climate change, water and air pollution should be controlled.
