The minister further said that the state government has given an approval to start an independent industrial training institute for disabled people in this institute.

Industrial training will be given in this institute to the disabled people and thus employment and self-employment opportunities will be available to the disabled. As per the information available, the admission to students will commence by June 2024. 

During the inaugural event, Lodha highlighted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's introduction of the term 'Divyang' bestowed a fresh identity upon individuals with disabilities, altering societal perceptions. He emphasized that this institute would serve as a beacon of guidance for the Divyang community. 

ITI will help disabled persons become part of the mainstream society. The Director of Vocational Education and Training, Digambar Dalvi handed over a cheque of Rs 1 crore for the institute.
