By Our Staff Reporter

HYDERABAD, NOV. 16. Over 250 scientific papers would be presented by scientists and researchers from several countries on various aspects of industrial pollution and emerging technologies to tackle the menace at the international conference on `Industrial Pollution and Control Technologies' to be organised in the city from December 7 to 10.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) Vice- Chancellor, Prof. Y. Venkatrami Reddy, told a press conference that important areas of environmental management like eco- tourism, noise pollution, computer modelling, GIS and remote sensing would be discussed by the participants from several countries.

The conference was being organised by the Centre for Environment, Institute of Post-Graduate Studies and Research, JNTU, in association with the Government departments concerned, national laboratories and scientific institutions.

Prof. Reddy said that the university had been focussing on research work and it had taken up several projects related to environment. Recently, the university had developed a contour map of the A.P. Police Security Academy to be set up at Moinabad in 82 acres.

Further, explaining the changes being brought in its functioning, he said the university was planning to have a Common Entrance Test for each branch of engineering at the post-graduate level rather than entrance tests for each programme. Applications for P.G. courses could now be downloaded from the JNTU site on the Net and efforts were on to make online admissions from the next academic year.
