SHAGUFTA - Conference Management and Alert System

On 23rd March the pilot alpha testing prototype of the shagufta.org was launched by the founder researcher Prof. Deepak Yadav (me) and Prof. Shagufta Sheikh.

From very long time we were searching a common system which provides us the information related to conferences world wide, we found 1-2 website for the same. But the working was not up to the mark.

Now our institute is organizing a Second National Conference PrCON-2009 on “Strategies of Developing Countries: Opportunities & Challenges" and we are responsible for the communication and for the selection and review process.

Our search for the conference management system was started, which should have following facilities:
  • Easy UI
  • Low cost
Again we dont get a better solution according to our need, So Prof. Shagufta Sheikh asked a question why not we have our own system ?

So we decided to develop a common place for the conference managment and for the notification or alert system, you can call it as a conference search engine.

Right now we are in a alpha mode and will move to beta in a month, presently we are having very good records of the conferences and presently hosting a conference PrCON 2009.

Second National Conference PrCON-2009 is using shagufta.org as a submission and review tool.
