TempSens Instruments India Ltd. Sponsors State-of-the-Art Thermal Calibration & Research Centre at MANIT Bhopal
Udaipur: Strengthening industry–academia collaboration, TempSens Instruments India Limited has sponsored a cutting-edge Thermal Calibration and Research Centre at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology (MANIT), Bhopal. The facility, named the MANIT–TempSens Thermal Calibration and Research Centre (MTTCR), was inaugurated on 27 December 2025 during MANIT’s Global Alumni Meet, in the presence of distinguished alumni, faculty members, and researchers.
This advanced research laboratory has been established under the leadership of Mr. Virendra Prakash Rathi, Founder and Chairman of TempSens Instruments India Limited, and a distinguished alumnus of MANIT from the 1971 batch (Electrical Engineering). The inauguration ceremony was graced by Mr. Venkatesh Shukla, a distinguished alumnus from the 1975 batch, currently based in the United States.
The laboratory is equipped with highly advanced temperature calibration and measurement systems, capable of operating across an exceptionally wide temperature range—from –196°C to 1200°C. This capability will enable researchers to conduct comprehensive thermal profiling, study material behavior under extreme conditions, and develop innovative applications across engineering and industrial domains.
Following similar facilities at IIT Madras and NIT Trichy, the MANIT–TempSens Thermal Calibration and Research Centre has become the third such advanced thermal calibration and research facility in India. With this milestone, MANIT joins an elite group of premier technical institutions possessing world-class thermal research infrastructure.
Addressing the gathering, Mr. Virendra Prakash Rathi emphasized the importance of industry-driven and application-oriented research within academic institutions. He highlighted that collaborative initiatives like MTTCR play a vital role in bridging the gap between theoretical research and real-world industrial challenges, creating mutual benefits for both academia and industry.
Echoing these sentiments, Prof. K. R. Agrawal, Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MANIT, expressed enthusiasm over the commissioning of the centre. He stated that the department would immediately begin utilizing the facility for practical and industry-relevant research, including studies aimed at enhancing the service life of industrial equipment, steel, and other critical materials.
The establishment of MTTCR marks a significant step forward in fostering innovation, advanced research, and meaningful collaboration between industry and academia in India.
