Special Initiatives

STI Hub: Science, technology, and innovation are inseparable, and REVA University, renowned for its leadership in higher education, exemplifies this ethos through the inauguration of the Science Technology and Innovation (STI) Hub in Chikkaballapur. REVA Research Centre, the sponsored-project funded by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, inaugurated this STI Hub in Chikkaballapur. REVA University supports the initiative internally by sponsoring the required facilities. It also aims to support the farmer community through technology, research, and innovation. The STI Hub focuses on the development of economically weaker sections in Bangalore North, Bangalore Rural District, and selected villages of Chikkaballapura in Karnataka.

The STI Hub at REVA University has set several key objectives aimed at fostering sustainable development and innovation. These include the development of a Hybrid Passive Solar Dryer for agricultural products, an integrated green technology-based water purification system, and the installation of small-scale multipurpose fruit and agri-food processing systems. The initiative also focuses on developing hybrid silk reeling and spinning machines, and an IoT-enabled grape farming forecasting system. Empowerment of the economically weaker section is a significant goal, achieved through the value addition to unutilised biomass by converting it into fuel briquettes and the development of eco-friendly, economically viable geopolymer blocks. Training and workshops on utilising agricultural litter to produce fertilisers are also planned. Through these efforts, the STI Hub aims to enhance local livelihoods, promote sustainable practices, and support the broader economic development of the region.
