The fifth international conference organised by the institute, commenced with lighting the lamp by the guests of honour. 
On the occasion, Mandal said, “Today, business can’t be imagined without technology. To be successful, you must be up to date knowing about the latest technology along with ongoing market trends and latest researches.” He further added, “Bookish knowledge alone isn’t sufficient for the millennial generation. It is more than significant to be updated with the technical knowledge and advancements simultaneously.” 

Chowdhary said that technology has a crucial role to play in the development of our country’s economy. Referring to the Digital India he also said that we start painting an imaginary picture before we actually start doing the work. It not only saves time but money. Today, such cars are available in the markets that don’t even need the actual drivers. All this has been possible because of the emerging information and communication technology giving wings to the imaginations of the common man. 

During the programme, the executive director of IMS Dr. Kamaljeet Singh talked about the Smart City. “Smart cities in our country are being conceived today whereas these already exist in the developed nations. The concept of Smart City cannot be imagined without Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the Internet of Things (IOT). Smart City is completely based on the same,” he quoted.
