Shri Ramdeobaba College of Engineering & Management has been selected for the implementation of the prestigious scheme of Rajiv Gandhi Science & Technology Commission (RGSTC) and Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC), Department of Science & Technology, Government of India for providing technical support to the micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) by leveraging the capabilities of students and faculty of engineering & technical institutions.

This ongoing scheme has enhanced the involvement of students and faculty of the college with industries. Through this scheme the students and faculty are providing technical support to the otherwise technologically deficient MSMEs. More importantly, such a process is able to nurture an innovation ecosystem which is benefiting both the MSMEs as well as the technical institutions.
