[Tugindia] Figure insertion - Removal of blank space

[Kannan Moudgalya]

Did you see the figure separately and make sure that it does not have
spaces around it?

I have the following comments about the way you have included the figure -
this may not be relevant to your problem, but you may find them useful. 
(1) Specifying both the width and height could distort the figure and
hence, unless you have a specific reason, you should specify only one of
them.  This will allow LaTeX to scale the figure in a proportionate
manner.  (2) The command \centering should come before the
\includegraphics command.  If you do this, the figure will get centered.
