About CSVTU Foundation

CSVTU-FORTE, the CSVTU Foundation for Rural Technology and Entrepreneurship, is a Section 8 company under Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University, run from the university's Bhilai campus in Durg district. Its purpose is to carry innovation and entrepreneurship into rural and underserved parts of Chhattisgarh.

To do that, it operates a Rural Incubation Centre together with a network of Rural Entrepreneurship Development Centres, where would-be founders find funding, mentoring, and the resources to take an idea to market. The emphasis falls on grassroots ventures solving local problems in farming, healthcare, and sustainable technology, and the foundation works with a spread of partners, among them AICTE, CSIR-AMPRI in Bhopal, Germany's Rostock University, the Chhattisgarh State Planning Commission, and Raipur's Sickle Cell Institute.
