ABOUT THE INSTITUTION 

The Gandhigram Rural Institute (GRI), founded by two dedicated disciples and contemporaries of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. G. Ramachandran and Dr. T. S. Soundaram Ramachandran, has as its foundation Mahatma Gandhiji’s revolutionary philosophy of Nai Talim, which effectively bridges the cognitive and practical dimensions, and focuses on the holistic development of learners, with an emphasis on skill development through value-based education, rooted in indigenous cultures and traditions. Since its establishment in 1956, GRI has been unstintingly contributing to higher education and has successfully pioneered rural higher education.

The curricular model developed at GRI organically integrating teaching, research and extension has earned the Institute the status of Deemed University in 1976 by UGC, the five-star status by NAAC in 2002, ‘A’ Grade during the re-accreditation in 2010 by NAAC and ‘A’ Grade in its third cycle of re-accreditation in the year 2016.

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Department of Mathematics was established in 1965 at the Gandhigram Rural Institute-Deemed to be University, Tamil Nadu. The major research fields being carried out in this department are Stability Problems of Dynamical Systems, including Neural Networks and Intelligent Systems, Fractal Theory and its applications, Fuzzy Clustering in Medical Images, Optimization in Marketing related problems, Control theory, Graph theory, Algebraic graph theory.  The Department has published more than 984 research articles in the SCI journals with SCOPUS citations of more than 14939. Funding for research and development has been provided by UGC, NBHM, CSIR and DST–SERB continuously for the past 17 years to the faculty members. As a result of consistent performance in research, the department was recently upgraded with UGC- SAP (DSA-I). International-level research collaborations are being undertaken with Deakin University, Australia, Institute of Mathematical Sciences, University of Malaya, Malaysia, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, Yonsei University, South Korea, United Arab Emirates University, UAE, University of Texas at Arlington, Texas, USA, Pusan/ Kunsan National Universities, South Korea. The Department has successfully conducted nine International Conference up to 2023.

ABOUT  ICAADM-2024

The International Conference on Applied Analysis and Discrete Mathematics (ICAADM-2024) aims to bring together professors, researchers, and scholars to exchange knowledge, discuss the latest advancements both in the fields of applied analysis and discrete mathematics, foster collaborations, and explore new avenues of mathematical research. We hope that the outcome of ICAADM-2024 will lead to a significant contribution to the knowledge base in these up-to-date scientific fields.
