        <p>The study of Minimum Absolute Deviation Covering Chromatic Energy explores the relationship between graph structures and energy metrics, providing insights into optimal colouring strategies. We are introducing minimum absolute deviation of a graph covering chromatic energy G corresponding to minimum covering C of some standard graphs and their bounds also established.</p>
