CONFERENCE LOCATION

The Nirma University is located in peaceful and sylvan surroundings, on Sarkhej Gandhinagar highway (about 15 km from

Ahmedabad railway station and 20km from the Ahmedabad Air-port) in Ahmedababd, Gujarat State of India.

Ahmedabad, one of the liveliest cities and a major industrial hub in India, had often been called the 'Manchester of the East'.

Ahmedabad is the largest city in Gujarat with a population of about 5 million. The city has developed itself into a leading

industrial centre and has become economic capital of Gujarat. Vibrant Gujarat is an example to prove this. The city has many

places to visit, like Science City, Akshardham Temple, Gandhi Ashram, Adalaj Vav (step well) etc. The weather of Ahmedabad

is very pleasant during the month of November.
