In other development on the campus, the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) yesterday organised a Workshop on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Technology Transfer, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education’s (MoE) Innovation Cell and AICTE. The workshop witnessed participation from over 20 higher educational institutions, bringing together faculty members, researchers, students, and innovation leaders from across the region.
The programme commenced in the traditional spirit of Jamia Millia Islamia with Tilawat-e-Quran, followed by a warm welcome address by Prof. Rihan Khan Suri, Director – CIE and President – Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC 7.0). He emphasised the Centre’s commitment to fostering innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking within the academic community.
An enlightening session on the Initiatives of the Ministry of Education’s Innovation Cell and AICTE was conducted by Abhishek Ranjan, Innovation Officer, MoE’s Innovation Cell. He discussed the national innovation framework, institutional support mechanisms, and the significant role of IICs in shaping India’s innovation ecosystem.
The Chief Guest, Prof. Md. Mahtab Alam Rizvi, Registrar Jamia Millia Islamia, in his inaugural address, congratulated CIE for organizing an “impactful and brilliantly curated workshop on Intellectual Property Rights and Technology Transfer in collaboration with the Ministry of Education’s Innovation Cell and AICTE.”
“Understanding IPR is not just important — it is essential for every researcher, innovator, and budding entrepreneur. Protecting innovation through patents, copyrights, and trademarks is the first step toward creating sustainable, scalable solutions. While Jamia has several patents filed, a large number of innovations still await commercialization, primarily due to lack of awareness about IPR and tech transfer. I appreciate the support of the MoE’s Innovation Cell and AICTE in promoting this much-needed awareness,” Prof Rizvi added.
He also highlighted the workshop’s alignment with national flagship initiatives such as the National Education Policy (NEP), Startup India, Make in India, and the National Innovation and Startup Policy (NISP), taken up by Jamia Millia Islamia urging institutions to strengthen mechanisms that translate academic research into real world impact.
Prof. Kafeel Ahmad, Dean, Research and Innovation, Jamia Millia Islamia, delivered an impactful talk on the importance of IPR and Technology Transfer in nation-building, inspiring participants to move from ideation to implementation.
Chavi Garg, Examiner of Patents & Designs, Indian Patent Office, New Delhi, conducted a comprehensive session on filing and processing Intellectual Property, offering insights into the patent lifecycle, documentation processes, and legal considerations.
An engaging and practical session on Technology Transfer was led by Pradeep Dhage, Assistant Innovation Director, Ministry of Education’s Innovation Cell. He explained the pathways to commercialize academic research, build industry-academia linkages, and effectively utilize institutional innovation ecosystems.
In a special segment, students from different institutions showcased their innovative ideas and prototypes, reflecting the vibrant energy of India’s emerging startup culture.
The workshop concluded with a vote of thanks by Prof. S. M. Muzakkir, Innovation Coordinator, who expressed deep appreciation to the Ministry of Education’s Innovation Cell, AICTE, all speakers, institutions, and participants for their enthusiastic engagement and contributions.
