Lecture on Intellectual Property Organized

Udaipur: A special lecture on "Intellectual Property" was held in the new auditorium of the Rajasthan Agricultural College, part of Maharana Pratap Agricultural and Technology University. 

Dr. Dhanpat Ram Agarwal, All India Co-Coordinator of the Swadeshi Jagran Manch, inaugurated the program by lighting the lamp. He addressed the students, providing detailed insights into the technical and legal aspects of intellectual property, and urged them to test new ideas in laboratories, creating a conducive environment for pilot project implementation.

Dr. Agarwal emphasized that 300 years ago, we relied solely on natural resources, whereas now, we must enhance the quality of indigenous products and focus on marketing. He stressed the importance of promoting indigenous goods to the general public and highlighted that intellectual property rights (IPR) need to be researched and widely disseminated. Students should increase the use and consumption of indigenous products through research conducted within the country.

On this occasion, Dr. Raj Kumar Mittal launched his book titled "37 Crore Startups - A Country for Every Young Entrepreneur," which focuses on organic entrepreneurship. The university's Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Ajit Kumar Karnataka, expressed gratitude to Dr. Agarwal for his valuable lecture and welcomed him on behalf of the university, noting that such enlightening discussions are beneficial for students.

The event also highlighted various research and outreach efforts by agricultural scientists at the university, emphasizing the need to benefit farmers with the latest agricultural technologies. It was reiterated that contributing to the country's progress equates to personal progress, and that motivation is essential for achieving goals. There was a strong emphasis on the widespread dissemination of useful information for farmers, focusing on innovations.

Dr. R.A. Kaushik, Director of Extension Education and Acting Dean of Rajasthan Agricultural College, expressed satisfaction with the attendance of senior scientists, faculty members, staff, and students, reiterating the importance of hosting such special lectures periodically.
