Sehore: Building on an established foundation of
research and innovation, VIT Bhopal University has secured a Design
Registration for a Multipurpose Lamp Stand, a smart multifunctional product
developed through a collaborative effort between faculty and students.
The innovation, led by faculty inventor Dr.
Pushpdant Jain along with a team of student researchers—Manas Sahu, Megha
Gupta, Swastik Kaurav, Praful Baghel, Aditya Vikram Singh, and Bhanav Lenka—reimagines
the conventional desk lamp as an integrated productivity solution for modern
workspaces. Designed to address the needs of students, professionals, and
remote workers, the product combines lighting, organization, and digital
utility within a single compact device.
The registered design features an adjustable
desk lamp equipped with dedicated storage compartments for stationery, a mobile
phone holder, and a multifunctional base incorporating a clock and built-in
speaker system. By integrating multiple everyday functions into one product,
the innovation aims to create more efficient, organized, and user-friendly work
environments.
The achievement reflects VIT Bhopal's emphasis
on translating classroom learning and research into practical solutions with
real-world relevance. Increasingly, the University's innovation ecosystem is
enabling students and faculty members to work together on projects that move
beyond academic exploration to create technologies and products with commercial
and societal potential.
Commenting on the achievement, Dr. Pushpdant
Jain said, "Innovation is most impactful when it solves everyday
challenges. This design emerged from the idea of creating a smarter and more
organized workspace by combining multiple functionalities into a single
product. The registration is an encouraging recognition of the collaborative
efforts put forth by the team."
The University's Intellectual Property Rights
(IPR) Cell played a key role in facilitating the design registration process.
Through mentoring, awareness initiatives, and filing support, the Cell
continues to strengthen VIT Bhopal's intellectual property portfolio and
encourage a culture of innovation-driven research.
Over the years, VIT Bhopal has steadily
expanded its focus on patents, copyrights, and design registrations, creating
an ecosystem where innovation is actively encouraged and protected. The latest
design registration further reinforces the University's commitment to nurturing
future-ready innovators capable of developing solutions that address emerging
societal and industry needs.
