He inaugurated 54 completed projects, valued at ₹29.99 crore, including an automated paneer production unit with a capacity of two tonnes a day, established at the Coimbatore District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union campus at ₹10.36 crore. In addition, Mr. Udhayanidhi distributed welfare assistance worth ₹239.41 crores to 25,024 beneficiaries under various government schemes.

In the last four years, around ₹3,800 crore in credit linkages were provided to Self-Help Groups (SHGs) in Coimbatore district.
