Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme

The scheme "Transgender Utthan Kosh – Identity Card for Transgender" was launched by the Social Justice and Empowerment Department, Government of Rajasthan, with the aim of identifying transgender persons and issuing identity cards to them. This certificate/identity card will be valid for all government purposes, including obtaining a ration card, Aadhaar card, birth certificate, etc. For the issuance of identity cards, NGOs can generate ID cards through the online portal, for which they will receive an honorarium per ID card.
