Prof Mangesh Karad, Secretary & Executive Director, MAEER’s MIT Group of Institutions, said, “Our institute is busy in developing entrepreneurs by guiding them about the procedure and outlook. If a student comes out with a bright idea, we convert him into a businessman. We have established Technology Business Incubator (TBI) for this in our institute.”

Dr Milind Acharya, Executive Director, Milman Thin Film Systems Pvt. Ltd., who was the guest of honour, said, “A scientist is doing research work in the corner of a laboratory. But he never thinks about how his invention is made useful to the society. This is because he has not been taught about it. Students also should know primary functioning regarding things around them by coming out of the sphere of the syllabus.”
