  15. MVIF ( Micro Venture Innovation Fund) Realizing the need of extending risk capital to grassroots innovators, NIF established a dedicated risk fund for such innovators named as MVIF of Rs 4 crore for ten years with the support of SIDBI in October2003. Only of its kind micro venture risk fund, which extends financial support to grassroots innovators under a single signature on an simple agreement of understanding without any collateral or a guarantor. Unlike micro finance or conventional venture funds, MVIF invests in risk areas with high failure probability, investing in those technologies and products for which either market does not exist or may be very limited. Apart from financial returns, one of the key criteria for selection of a technology for MVIF support is social return or social value created for the benefit of society at large.

It can also pool together desired characters of different versions of a technology and develop new prototypes. NIF acquired the rights of 70 technologies this year and is preparing the plan to socially diffuse them.
