SBI Sashakti Livelihood Intervention – Udaan

Ability Over Disability, Dignity Over Caste: The Udaan Revolution for Rural Women

Our Initiative

Improve Living Standards 

Udaan – Providing wings to Rural Women with from Scheduled Caste/ Scheduled tribes and women with disabilities. In Betalghat, SC/ST women and women with disabilities face intersecting barriers – restricted land rights, limited services, and systematic economic exclusion – while local agriculture grapples with 30–40% post-harvest losses, declining yields, and livestock challenges. Together with SBI Foundation, we are driving change: through targeted training, modern farming & livestock practices, resource access, and direct market linkages, we equip marginalized women to boost productivity, secure sustainable incomes, and step into economic leadership – building inclusive, resilient livelihoods from the ground up. The initiative directly empowered 500 rural women, including 50 women with disabilities, while indirectly benefiting approximately 3,000 household members through enhanced livelihood opportunities, capacity building, and inclusive community development.

What The Future Holds

In the coming years, Project Udaan, in continued partnership with the SBI Foundation, will evolve from a livelihood intervention into a movement for rural economic feminism. The 500 women of Betalghat will no longer just be farmers; they will be Agri-entrepreneurs, climate stewards, and community leaders. The 3,000 household members will benefit from a generational shift in wealth, nutrition, and social status. Ultimately, Udaan will prove that when the most marginalized women are given the right wings, they do not just fly—they elevate the entire community with them.
