About the Organization

C-DAC, Kolkata Centre has been actively and consistently pursuing research and development in the field of Agriculture and Environment Electronics for more than a decade and is now ideally poised to hold a National R&D Program (AgriEnIcs) on the abovementioned domains under the guidance of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. C-DAC, Kolkata, erstwhile, ER&DCI, Calcutta started research on Tea and Jute process automation long back in early nineties of the past century and developed a few field deployable products. The work continued in the early first decade of the current century to develop a total automation solution for an experimental model tea factory of Tea Research Association, Tocklai, Jorhat. Extremely challenging research work on electronic Nose, electronic Tongue and electronic Vision technologies were taken up thereafter with the intention of quality estimation of produces like tea and rice. Products were developed and deployed with the full satisfaction of the stakeholder institutes. These research were supported by MeitY, DST and Tea Board in respective cases.

About the Call for Papers

Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) Kolkata, in association with the University of Calcutta, is hosting an International Conference on Systems and Technologies for Smart Agriculture (ICSTA 2023) on December 19 and 20, 2023 at Kolkata, India. This two days program is based on the theme “Cultivation of civilization through sustainable agricultural practices-Together We Make it Possible”.

ICSTA 2023 sessions will discuss agricultural practices designed to preserve the Earth’s natural resources, enhance crop quality, protect the environment, and restrict the health hazards of farmers, the ultimate founders of human civilization, through the intervention of electronics and ICT technologies. The program covers all aspects of tools and techniques for Smart Agriculture, including the Internet of Things, Mechanization and Automation, AI and ML, Computer Vision for Agriculture & Horticulture, Animal Science & Dairy, Fisheries & Aquaculture etc. This event will highlight significant research and its applications in agriculture and showcase emerging technologies and information management for agriculture.

ICSTA 2023 will offer oral and poster presentations and exhibits, as well as a discussion and exchange of information on various aspects of agriculture. This platform will allow scientists, researchers, academicians and young students to interact with eminent scientists/technologists working across the globe in interdisciplinary cyber-physical systems to make agriculture a profession of hope. Sessions will offer information on key topics for Scientists & Students, Agriculture Engineers, Farm Practitioners, Crop Consultants, Advisors, Extension Personnel, Agronomists, Producers, and other practitioners. ICSTA 2023 will serve as a common platform for discussing the new ideas/ developments/ breakthrough and prospects for multifunctional agricultural practices with leading scientists/technologists and to be acquainted with their experience and knowledge.
