EMPOWERED WOMEN EMPOWER WOMEN
Our sanstha has an esteemed history to be re-told. Deemed as a prestigious women’s institution it was envisioned and spearheaded by Maharani Chimnabai II to develop enterprise among the womenfolk of Baroda state. The queen yearned to give the women a platform to explore their creativity, learn vocational skills and earn a livelihood.
YOU EDUCATE A MAN,
YOU EDUCATE A MAN.
YOU EDUCATE A WOMAN,
YOU EDUCATE A GENERATION.
I am… maharani Chimnabai Stree udyogalaya. I have stood here at the banks of Sur Sagar for over 100 years.
Many a girls have come to my doorstep to transform into women of character and enterprise.
I am a witness… I have seen my Sayajinagri grow, prosper and even grapple.
I have experienced… the sparkle of fire works and how the kites of Sankrant flutter above my roof!
I am a bearer… of the Gaekwadi vision of women empowerment and entrepreneurship.
I am a refuge… of architecture and nature tucked away right in the heart of Vadodara.
I am an institution… I lead women to their true potential and fulfilment.
I am a window… from me you can view our rich history and traditions and the future, brimming with promise and fruition.
Here many have ascended the steps of success Here many have learnt to stitch their lives with dignity!

SOCIETY
Made by India.
OUR MISSION
TO SERVE

TO CONVERSE
Start a dialogue about issues that we shy away from and spread awareness
To exclude individuals from the collective purpose of societal and individual growth on the basis of their gender, caste, physical and mental challenges or sexual orientation is a gross folly. It not only further entrenches an insensitive, unequal and divisive society but also prevents society itself from benefitting from all that human potential has to offer.
