On behalf of the Editorial Board, it is our privilege to present the inaugural issue of the Annals of Earth, Environment, and Infrastructure Engineering, caringly shortened as AEEIE. We are enthusiastic to bring a change in the world of open-access publishing and aim to be a role model for open-access journals in India. We have launched this journal to provide good opportunities to students, researchers, and academicians to get their work reviewed, improved and published at low article processing charges without sacrificing the quality of the content and publishing ethics. The seasoned academicians from reputed institutes and research institutes and laboratories have been added to the editorial board.
