ABSTRACT
The manuscript should contain an abstract within 300 words. The manuscript should have a self-contained,
citation-free abstract and state briefly the purpose of the research, methodology, key results and major
conclusions. Abstract should be in a single paragraph with running sentences. Do not use any subheading or
point list within the abstract. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential
they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.

Keywords:Authors are advised to writes 3-5 keywords related to the article, separated by comma. These
keywords will be used for indexing purpose.

Introduction
Mostly Papers starts with introduction. It contains the brief idea of work, requirement for
this research work, problem statement, and Authors contribution towards their research.
Sufficient recent reference citation [1] from last 2 years should be included for showing the
existing challenges and importance of current work. This section should be succinct, with no
subheadings unless unavoidable [2, 3]. State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate
background related to your work, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the
results.
Research Methodology
This part should contain sufficient detail to reproduce reported data. It can be divided into
subsections if several methods are described. Methods already published should be indicated by
a reference [4], only relevant modifications should be described. Methodology should be written
concisely in detail by maintaining continuity of the texts.
Theory and Calculation
A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with
in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section
represents a practical development from a theoretical basis. Do not add extensive basic
definitions or well-known theories, instead highlight theoretical background and its specific
usages in view of your work only.

Research Questions

This is written in interrogative form. It includes only questions which are mutually
inclusive. Questions that are not contributory to the attainment of the objectives of the study
should not be included.

the study do not include the profile of the respondents, do not include this in your research
problems.
Results and Discussion
This section may each be divided by subheadings or may be combined. A combined Results
and Discussion section is often appropriate. This should explore the significance of the results
of the work, don’t repeat them. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature

in view of recent development and challenges in the field.
