The Cluster Innovation Centre (CIC) is Government funded institute within the University of Delhi, founded in 2011 and introduced Innovation as a credit based course for first time in India.

Introduction

The Cluster Innovation Centre is an institution of University of Delhi. It will provide a platform for the University and its partners to forge linkages between various stakeholders from industry and academia, initiate and assist innovation activities and act as a catalyst and facilitator. With a team management structure, this centre will aid the cluster and its ecosystem in connecting with each other, provide guidance to various stakeholders on all aspects of the innovation process including training and support, organize initiatives to promote innovations, channel various incentives that benefit the cluster and act as an incubating body managing the growth of innovation in the ecosystem. It will therefore act as a hub for Innovation activities, facilitating and guiding development of ideas into innovative applications that can be marketed successfully.[citation needed]

Rationale

With the launch of innovative schemes by MHRD,[2] the University felt that innovation programmes be launched which should enhance creative potential of students, have innovative curriculum, are more project oriented and tailored to the need of society and industry. Such programmes should be enabling for students to relate themselves to the real world problems in all spheres and look for innovative solution for the problems. University should work closely with villages or slums and provide and focus on solving local real world problems.
