Entrepreneurship Policy
The central university of Himachal Pradesh with its glorious past and is well known for its mission and commitment to contribute in various contemporary endeavors of research in science and technology. The students, researchers and faculty members at central university of Himachal Pradesh are always dedicated to knowledge generation in several areas of cutting edge science and technology and dissemination. However, most of the outcomes of R&D activities end in research applications and do not get translated into IPR and commercial products benefiting the society in general. Amongst many factors, absence of a clear-cut university policy in this area is also a contributing factor.
To provide motivation and opportunity in commercializing new and futuristic technologies and facilitate the entrepreneurial practice. Central university of Himachal Pradesh encourages the interested faculty members to open companies, be on the board of such companies in the capacity of a vice-chancellor, Chairman or any such role. It is expected that the faculty members entering under this system will make all efforts to balance their academic responsibilities while assuming the above role.
Expertise with Central University of Himachal Pradesh
- Plastic Waste to Fuel: Plastic Waste can be selectively convert into specific boiling range of fuel like Petrol,
Diesel or LPG by Indian Patent Process no Novel Product Selective Degradation Reactor,
IPR/FA/10007, by Dr D Pant.
- Solution Phase Recycling Technique for Plastic : A process for production of Anti Fungal Solution from CD waste. It is a solution phase
recycling technique Indian Patent Number #127/DEL/2011 Date 19-01-2011 by Dr D Pant.
Solution Used for this purpose can synthesized by Indian Patent No #T.I(01)/TIFA/2012 by
Dr D. Pant entitled Column Reactor for the Synthesis of Cyclic Carbonate of Polyols via
Carbamide Process.
- Column Reactor: This reactor can also applied for the green chemical recycling of various plastic to valuable
products and further it is also applicable for the synthesis of green solvents by Carbamide
Process.
- Solid Waste Management: For the management of waste glass or alike solid waste an activation technique was
proposed : Activation of inorganic oxide containing waste like Glass Powder, fly ash and
Spent Zeolites by Using Fluoride Reagent and its Recovery Process by IP
2911/DEL/2012; D Pant
