Hyderabad, [Date]: In a historic move, Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has announced a groundbreaking welfare initiative for the transgender community, including a special government recruitment process for them. This marks the first time in independent India that a state has introduced a comprehensive program aimed at both improving the welfare of transgenders and creating employment opportunities for them in government sectors.
Speaking about the initiative, the Chief Minister highlighted that such an important step has not been implemented anywhere in the world, making Telangana a global leader in inclusive governance. This program not only addresses the needs of the transgender community but also aims to tackle the growing traffic issues in Hyderabad, a dual achievement that showcases creative thinking in governance.
Among India’s five major cities, Hyderabad already boasts the least severe traffic congestion. With this new initiative, the Chief Minister aims to further alleviate the city’s traffic challenges, positioning Hyderabad as a model for traffic management in the country. After identifying and recruiting transgenders, they will receive specialized training and will work alongside the Hyderabad Traffic Police to assist in traffic regulation and enforcement.
This progressive action is not only a step toward improving public services but also stands as a powerful statement against gender discrimination. By integrating transgenders into essential roles, Chief Minister Reddy’s initiative exemplifies equal treatment for women, men, and transgenders, setting a precedent for other states and countries to follow.
The decision has been hailed as a landmark moment in both transgender welfare and urban traffic management, offering hope for a more inclusive and efficient future in Telangana.
