He was the Chief Guest of the function.   He is   the   Director,    Non- Conventional Energy Resources, Department of Physics, University of Rajasthan, Jaipur.  In his invited talk, he presented research work of his group related to the use of Hydrogen in automobiles. Hydrogen will be generated on board with the help of electrolysis of water using solar energy. Hydrogen Fuel cell fitted in the proto-type automobile which is in use at present, emits only 0.03% of carbon whereas petroleum product emits at least 0.79% carbon into the environment, so it is clean energy source.

 Another keynote speaker of the conference was Mr. S.P.Garg.
