Narayanamma Institute of Technology & Science (GNITS) situated at Shaikpet, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. Hyderabad, a bustling 400 years old Metro Polis, was formerly the seat of the fabulously wealthy Nizams. It is the Capital city of A.P. consisting of twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, having an urban population of around 8 million. Today, Hyderabad is the most happening city of India and preferred IT destination. Its state of art auditoriums like Shilparamam, Novotel, Hitex, etc. attract lot of world class conferences. It is a home for major International events. The city is a blend of cutting edge IT companies and well preserved cultural heritage, a pot pourri of old and the new. Hyderabad commands spectacular tourists attraction such as, Charminar, Salarjung Museum, Golkonda Fort, Taramati Baradari, Ramoji Film City, Multiplex Theatres, Snow World, Hi-Tech city and state-of-art GMR Airport, parks and Shopping Malls etc. City is well connected with other parts of India by Road, Rail and Air. It has a pleasant climate in December with a minimum temperature of 10 degrees during night and 25 degrees during day. Much more than any thing, it presents a true picture of secularism. Hyderabad forms the essence of INCREDIBLE INDIA.

THE VENUE OF THE CONVENTION: G. Narayanamma Institute of Technology & Science

The college has been adjudged as second best college under Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, with 90% of its students getting campus placement, which speaks volumes about the academic excellence to the Institution.

The college is centrally located within city limits at Shaikpet and is well connected with public transport systems.

THEME OF THE CONVENTION: QUALITY CONCEPTS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The theme is very appropriate in the context of the present economic recovery. The very basic principle of Quality Concept is that the Quality of products and services have to be primarily built into them by the people performing the tasks. Organisations can develop & grow, only if the members are given an opportunity to develop. This is dependent on the effective use of all resources, more importantly, the Human Resources. Therefore, we need to develop people on a continuous basis through Quality Team Concepts which are an excellent media for imparting learning, and thereby sustaining development.
