myScheme’s own wording, reproduced in full. Where it is thin, that is the finding, and the completeness checks are below.

What this is

The scheme “Saphalam Scheme for Transgender Students Pursuing Professional Courses” was launched by the Department of Social Justice, Government of Kerala.

In detail

The “Saphalam Scheme for Transgender Students Pursuing Professional Courses” was launched by the Department of Social Justice, Government of Kerala. The Transgender community faces severe problems such as discrimination and infringement of rights. It is the responsibility of the government to provide special privileges to such target groups, bringing them to the mainstream of society by ensuring social rehabilitation.

Due to a lack of proper education and social stigma in society, the Transgender community is also subjected to severe unemployment. Thus, the Social Justice Department has rolled out this innovative scheme that provides financial assistance to Transgender students pursuing Degree/Diploma level professional courses. This scheme would provide an opening to Transgender students who possess high technical/professional competence.

Those students who have qualified for such professional courses and suffer from financial constraints can continue their education uninterrupted which in turn would increase their employment opportunities and help them to secure a good job and thereby lead a quality life.

Who qualifies

  • The applicant should be Transgender.
  • The applicant should be a resident of Kerala.

  • Transgender students who secure admission for courses MBBS, Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc), and BSc Agriculture in Government colleges are eligible.
  • Transgender students pursuing Diploma level government-accredited courses are also eligible.
  • Transgender students who have completed 18 years must submit a copy of their Transgender ID card.
  • Those Transgender students who are below 18 years must submit a self-declaration statement duly certified by the Head of Institution/Parent.

What you get
