    Hi All,

    The ‘CD’ herein means the article burned on a Compact Disk. In case you have e-mailed/or planning to e-mail an article you may omit sending the ‘CD’. However, the hard copy of the same is mandatory to be sent at the mentioned address. The journal has an ISSN No. And there has been no decision in relation to extension of dates, in case the dates are extended, the same will be communicated through this platform.

    Thanks.
