Launched in 2019 and being implemented in collaboration with Tata Communications Ltd. (TCL), Project Udaya aims at promoting entrepreneurship among women from SC/ST communities, Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in the Raigad and Ratnagiri districts of Maharashtra. The project successfully completed its third phase during the period 2023–2025, focusing on equipping women and PwDs with relevant skills, knowledge and confidence to establish and sustain micro-enterprises.

Under Phase 3.0, the Institute worked extensively in Raigad and Ratnagiri districts through structured training interventions and post-training mentoring support, with a special focus on integrating PwDs into the entrepreneurial fold.
