MESKCON 2026

MES Kalladi College initiated MESKCON through its Internal Quality Assurance Cell to bring researchers, academicians and students into dialogue across disciplines. The 2026 edition focused on connecting knowledge with a smarter, sustainable and inclusive world. Its published introduction linked the theme to social responsibility, inclusion, environmental stewardship and holistic development.

The conference took place on 30–31 January 2026 at MES Kalladi College, Mannarkkad, with online and offline participation. The published brochure identified it as the third edition.

The historical host profile records that MES Kalladi College began as a junior college in 1967, introduced degree courses in 1971 and postgraduate study in 1978. It is located in Mannarkkad beside the Kunthipuzha river, near the Silent Valley and Attappadi hills.

The 2026 profile recorded 20 undergraduate programmes, nine postgraduate programmes, one integrated programme and five research programmes. It recorded autonomous status and an A++ grade in the fourth NAAC accreditation cycle in 2025. These are preserved as the host information published for this edition.

The 2026 conference invited students, research scholars, faculty and international delegates, with online and in-person participation. The published call for papers covered the nine research themes preserved above. Registration for this historical edition has ended; the original public registration form is now closed.

The Chemistry department report records invited lectures by Dr. V. Ganesh of CSIR–CECRI and Dr. Rijeesh K. of the University of Luxembourg, alongside oral and poster presentations. Its delegate and presentation figures describe that departmental programme and are not represented as whole-conference attendance totals.

The archived Important Dates page recorded registration opening on 10 December 2025, abstract submission by 5 January 2026, acceptance of abstracts on 10 January, full paper submission by 15 January and registration closing on 20 January. The conference dates were 30–31 January 2026.

The Chemistry presentation session on 31 January began at 11:00 IST in CV Raman Hall. Its report records three oral and three poster presentations, with five minutes for presentation followed by a three-minute viva voce. That format is documented for the Chemistry session; it is not asserted as a rule for every conference track. The preserved public pages do not establish a complete formatting template or a conference-wide timetable.

These amounts are preserved for the 2026 archive and do not apply to a new conference registration.

Participation: students ₹500; research scholars ₹750; faculty ₹1,000; foreign delegates US$30.

Participation and paper presentation: students ₹750; research scholars ₹1,000; faculty ₹1,500; foreign delegates US$50.

The standalone fee chart used the label “Participation & paper Presentation”. The original brochure printed the same amounts under “Participation & publication”. Both original documents are preserved in the resources; the archive does not infer a publication entitlement from that wording.

This page preserves the 2026 conference content locally so the archive continues to work after the website replacement. The speaker names, roles and institutions describe the published historical roster; they do not claim current employment or prove attendance in every case. The organising committee above follows the archived conference homepage, while the five international advisory members are explicitly attributed to the original brochure.

Two source differences remain visible in the original brochure: it names Dr. C. Rajesh as conference chair and prints an abstract deadline of 2 January 2026. The published website committee instead names Dr. Jasmine P. M., and its Important Dates page gives 5 January. The archive uses the website committee and website dates while retaining the brochure unchanged.

The documented programme above contains Chemistry sessions confirmed by the college report. It is a selection of verified sessions, rather than the complete conference timetable. The mixed homepage gallery labelled “MESKCON 2024–25” has not been assigned to 2026.
