There was a need to have a separate technical university to cater to the wish of the people to get technical education for its wards and opening of a large number of higher technical education colleges. Hence the Chhattisgarh Swami Vivekanand Technical University was formed in the year 2004 by act (number 25 of 2004) by the Chhattisgarh State Assembly.

Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or education:
“I do not think I could myself, be brought to support a man for office, whom I knew to be an open enemy of, and scoffer at, religion.

—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The education of females has been exclusively directed to fit them for displaying to advantage the charms of youth and beauty. ... though well to decorate the blossom, it is far better to prepare for the harvest.”
—Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)
