The Indian government recently launched a 15-day Entrepreneurship Development Programme under the SMILE scheme.
Objective: To empower transgender persons economically and make them self-reliant through skill-building and entrepreneurship.
SMILE stands for Support for Marginalized Individuals for Livelihood and Enterprise.
It is a Central Sector Scheme with two main sub-schemes:

The scheme adopts an umbrella approach covering welfare, rehabilitation, and empowerment of transgender persons and persons engaged in begging.

Skill Development & Livelihood: Implemented through the PM-DAKSH scheme, facilitating skill training and employment.
Healthcare: Composite Medical Health Package converging with PM-JAY (Ayushman Bharat), including support for Gender-Reaffirmation surgeries in selected hospitals.
Housing & Rehabilitation: ‘Garima Greh’ provides housing with food, clothing, recreation, skill development, and medical support for transgender persons and beggars.
Protection Mechanism: Transgender Protection Cells in every state ensure monitoring, timely registration, investigation, and prosecution of offenses against transgender persons.
