Senior Project Coordinator
CurrentAt NIRDPR under the Ministry of Rural Development, GoI, I am working towards having a policy framework for wage employment generations for transgender communities in India, where we are trying to go beyond mere skill development. This policy framework might be presented as a form of an incubation program for transgender and queer entrepreneurs aspiring to work in labour-intensive domains with a larger objective of creating employment for more transgender people. This, I am hoping, would change the way we look at livelihoods of any marginalized communities, and bring transgender and economically underprivileged persons out of multidimensional poverty caused by historic exclusion.
