The researchers, professors and students of various disciplines of engineering at MIT WPU, Pune are granted with 19 patents at a time from Australian patents office. Perhaps, this is the first of a kind recognition that any engineering researchers from any university have received as many patents at a time. Out of 19 patents granted, School of Mechanical Engineering has 5, Civil engineering has 3, Computer Engineering and Electronics engineering are granted with 5 each and Human Resource department are granted with 1 patent. The Vice Chancellor of MIT WPU Prof. Dr. R. M. Chitnis addressed in the press conference.
The Pro Vice Chancellor of MITWPU, Prof. Dr. Milind Pande, Pro Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Prasad Khandekar, Associate Deans, Prof. Dr. Bharat Choudhary and Prof. Dr. Anil Hiwale and Head of School of Mechanical Engineering Prof. Dr. Ganesh M. Kakandikar was also present during the occasion.
Prof. Dr. R. M. Chitnis added that, MITWPU is organizing various programs and providing the platform to motivate our students for the research and innovation. The main objective of research and innovation must be to find the solution for current problems in the society and ultimately it should benefit the society at large.
MITWPU provides the guidance to all the teachers from other universities to receive such intellectual property rights.
