ACIC at SGT

Atal Community Innovation Centre at SGT University aims to create design-aware societies, enabling them to leverage design principles to be able to build more human-centric, meaningful innovations. This is being achieved by creating repositories of knowledge centred on the core design principles of sensitivity, knowing and finding experience, and sustainability which will be accessible across centres for encouraging self-learning and growth.

The Toolbox for Innovation in Jhajjar District, India, has been created by SGT University to provide a nurturing environment that can foster social innovation and entrepreneurship. 

We enable ideas with the potential to achieve proof of concept and eventually scale. 

We do this primarily by providing financial support, physical space, and mentorship through our grants & partnership programs.

Our success hinges on our proven ability to work closely on the ground with our partners while providing strategic support to help them achieve scale and impact.

These programs help develop the human capital that powers enterprises and innovation inside the Toolbox.

We aim to provide a supporting ecosystem to build scalable enterprises through our incubation programs by unlocking the leadership potential in youth and providing them with avenues to build systems that can contribute to social impact. 

Our Connect programs provide fellowship opportunities, citizen awareness platforms, and the flagship yearly conference — the Development Dialogue — in addition to various smaller conclaves, leadership workshops, talks, and events.
