Key-Points

Under the Scheme of ‘Shelter Home for Transgender Persons’, the ministry has decided to set up shelter homes for transgender persons who have been forced to leave their homes or abandoned by the family. The first such home in Vadodara in Gujarat was inaugurated.

By March 31 next year, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Patna, Kolkata, Jaipur, Raipur, Bhubaneswar and Manipur will also have such homes to be called “Garima Greh” with a capacity for 25 persons.

They will be run by transgender community-led organisations. These shelters will also provide skill training to connect the community members with livelihood opportunities.

This is a pilot project, and on its successful completion, similar schemes will be extended to other parts of the country.
