VNSGU Student Wins Patent for Innovative 'Hanging Light'
A student at VNSGU, Prem Bardoliwala, invented a cool new light and got a patent for it.
He noticed that some people, like carpet makers, needed better light to do their work.
His light, called the 'Hanging Light', is designed to be easy to move around and put light where it's needed most, just like a clothes hanger.
It has a special bulb that can be changed for different uses.
The student worked with his teachers to come up with the design, and the government liked it so much that they gave him a patent, which means he's officially recognized for his clever idea!
A VNSGU student received a design patent for his 'Hanging Light' invention.
The idea originated from observing poor lighting conditions hindering artisans in Rajasthan and vendors in Surat.
The 'Hook Solution' design allows for versatile and movable lighting, inspired by clothes hangers.
The light features a smart bulb and can be adapted for various settings.
The patent was filed jointly with VNSGU and the student's mentors.
