The Swades scheme is an employment scheme which is a joint venture of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, the Ministry of Civil Aviation, and the Ministry of External Affairs. 

The Swades scheme will issue unemployed workers with a Swades skill card which will create a database of qualified citizens and will categorise them according to their skill-sets and  experience and will try to cater to the demands of the Indian and foreign companies. 

Summing it up

The scheme is a welfare scheme so that people find a source of income, at least until the dust settles and those who are unemployed can at least meet ends with a surer source of income.
