A two day national level advisory cum screening committee meeting of Promoting Innovations in Individuals, Start-ups and MSMEs, PRISM started on Wednesday at conference hall of CTAE. The program was inaugurated by Porfessor O.P Gill, Vice Chancellor MPUAT. During his speech, Gill laid emphasis on the motivational work done for farmers and rural women to provide them financial support and a platform to get recognition for their innovations.

Vice Chancellor added, “With the help of Scientists, a direct conversation should be held with the farmers so that Machineries and required equipments can be provided to them.”

“Students from Udaipur, Delhi, Mumbai and other places presented their models during the seminar and gave presentation. The review committee will now select best projects and send it to the Ministry of Science and Technology for their approval. Once they are approved, then they will be funded,” said S.M Mathur, Program Coordinator.

National President of PRISM, Dr. S Shivram said, “No innovation project should be stopped until its final output and practical implementation is tested. Both financial and organizational support should be provided to the researcher without any hassle.”

While sharing his own personal experience, Dr. Shivram added, “It is a big challenge to take forward new technology and research.”

Senior Scientist of New Delhi, Dr. S.K Deshpande said, “We have seen many developments in sectors like security, environment protection etc in the recent past. For example, a motorcycle should not start until the rider wears his helmet, such innovative work are required today.”
