MAHARAJA FATESINGH MUSEUM TRUST
SHRI MAHARANI CHIMNABAI STREE UDYOGALAYA
INITIATIVES
By Shri Maharani Chimnabai Stree Udyogalaya
Gazra Project
( Gazra Cafe / Gazra Mitra )
The Gazra Project, led by Shri Maharani Chimnabai Stree Udyogalaya, supports LGBTQIA+ and minority communities through inclusive initiatives. One of its highlights is Gazra Café, started two years ago to create a welcoming, safe space for all. Today, it stands as one of Gujarat’s most inclusive and award-winning heritage tourism attractions.
Gazra Mitr
Part of the Gazra Project by SMCSU, Gazra Mitr is a unique mobile app designed for the LGBTQIA+ community and women. It offers valuable information, along with access to sensitised legal and medical aid options, helping users feel informed, supported, and safe.
URJA
Exhibition to support Art & Craft
Urja is SMCSU’s annual exhibition that provides a vibrant platform for artisans from across India, while encouraging women entrepreneurs working with diverse traditional crafts. Started as a small post-COVID initiative to support artisans and preserve India’s artistic heritage, Urja has grown into one of the country’s most notable annual celebrations of Indian art and craft.
HEART TO FEET
A Project by Princess Padmajaraje
SMCSU, through their visionary initiative, successfully distributed more than 11,000 pairs of footwear. We extended our support to diverse communities, including the LGBTQi, visually impaired, underprivileged children, senior citizens, artisans in Odissa, flood-affected regions, and more. Through this noble cause, we aim to extend our reach to even more people/communities. Let’s continue to contribute and support our mission to make a lasting impact.
NARI KI SAWARI
Driven Women Drive
Another remarkable initiative by SMCSU, Nari Ki Sawari trains women in two-wheeler and four-wheeler driving, helping them gain confidence and independence. By encouraging more women drivers, the program also contributes to creating safer mobility options for women and children in society.
Skill Training
( Tailoring / Beauty Parlour / Music / Katthak )
Since its founding in 1914, Shri Maharani Chimnabai Stree Udyogalaya (SMCSU) has been dedicated to empowering women through practical skill training. Courses in tailoring, beauty parlour skills, and other vocational programs have helped women build confidence, gain independence, and support their families for over a century.
Music and Kathak Classes
SMCSU offers Music and Kathak dance classes at Udyogalaya for those passionate about the arts, all at affordable rates. Our talented Kathak students have proudly won several national-level awards in recent years, celebrating both skill and tradition
Garvotsav
Nazm-E-Nazakat
Every year, SMCSU celebrates Pride Month through Garvotsav—a series of educational, cultural, and inclusive events held in collaboration with various organisations and institutions. One of the highlights is NazmENazakat, where poets from LGBTQIA+ and cis communities come together to share verses on love, friendship, and belonging. The Utsav also includes counselling sessions with experts like Deepak Kashyap, a Canadian-certified counsellor and LGBTQIA+ activist, creating a safe and supportive space for dialogue, healing, and celebration.
PADMANARAYANI SHOP
Home Grown Products
Padmanarayani Shop is a unique initiative by Shri Maharani Chimnabai Stree Udyogalaya, created to empower women and members of the LGBTQIA+ community by giving them a platform to showcase and sell their handmade products. Named after Princess Padmajaraje Gaekwad and Princess Narayani Gaekwad, the shop supports many who have been trained through the Sanstha’s tailoring classes, turning skills into livelihoods and creativity into confidence.
LUKSHMI VILAS PALACE HERITAGE GARBA
Navratri Dance Festival
Organised by Shri Maharani Chimnabai Stree Udyogalya & Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum, it is also a platform to rise up and reach out to multiple societal causes. Being the first inclusive religious dance festival in the world, it is an embodiment of the spirit of inclusiveness and equality.
WOMEN'S HEALTH & EMPOWERMENT
Health Awareness amongst Women
sponsored by the Maharani Shanta Devi Hospital Trust and SMCSU, we are trying to raise awareness around cervical cancer, which is the second biggest cancer affecting women in India. We believe that everyone deserves access to good healthcare. We’ve led workshops focusing on educating less fortunate women and students about this important issue and we’ve organized free PAP smear test camps.
