The CSVTU Foundation for Rural Technology and Entrepreneurship (CSVTU-FORTE) was established as a Section-8 company under the guidance of Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University (CSVTU). Our mission is to drive innovation and entrepreneurship, specifically targeting rural and underserved areas, through the incubation of grassroots-level startups. We are proud to be supported by several esteemed partners, including AICTE (New Delhi), SCIC Sickle Cell (Raipur), Rostock University (Germany), CSIR-AMPRI (Bhopal), State Planning Commission (CG), and others, to foster a culture of innovation and development.

Since our inception, we have aimed to create a sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem that nurtures early-stage startups with a focus on rural impact. Through our Rural Incubation Centre (RIC) and Rural Entrepreneurship Development Centres (REDCs), we provide aspiring entrepreneurs with financial support, mentorship, and resources to turn their ideas into marketable solutions. Our programs, including the Ignition Grant under I-TBI, MSME Incubation Scheme, Agripreneur Internship Program, and the Internship Program in Natural and Organic Farming, offer valuable hands-on experience and the necessary support to foster sustainable rural development.

With the backing of our diverse network of national and international partners, we have nurtured numerous startups and empowered students and communities across Chhattisgarh. CSVTU-FORTE strives to transform challenges into opportunities by leveraging grassroots technologies and innovations to drive holistic development. We are committed to creating a platform that fosters collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and the growth of rural entrepreneurs.
