Transgender Utthan Kosh - College/Higher/Technical Educational Fees Refund for Transgender Students(TUK-CHTERTS)
Overview
About TUK-CHTERTS
The Transgender Utthan Kosh – College/Higher/Technical Educational Fees Refund is a state scheme run by the Social Justice and Empowerment Department, Government of Rajasthan. It forms the education arm of the Transgender Utthan Kosh, a welfare fund the Rajasthan government set up for the state's transgender residents, which also backs health and gender-affirming care.
Under this scheme a transgender student is refunded the fees paid towards college, higher, or technical education. The benefit is cash: the department reimburses fees already spent rather than waiving them at admission, so the student pays first and recovers the amount afterwards. The purpose is to ease the cost of staying in education.
It is meant for transgender individuals in Rajasthan enrolled in recognised courses across college and technical or professional study. The exact fee heads that qualify and the conditions a student must meet are fixed by the department.
