In Giridih, a significant district-level meeting was held to advance the welfare of the transgender community. During the session, district officials emphasized the crucial role of education and integration into government schemes for the community’s upliftment and societal inclusion. Officials were directed to make every effort to connect transgender individuals with various government programs, with a committee slated for formation to oversee this initiative. A comprehensive social and economic mapping of all transgender residents in the district is planned. This mapping will meticulously document their educational status, livelihood, health, and overall standard of living, providing a clear picture of their current circumstances. The administration is committed to ensuring transgender individuals receive identification and rights, with a campaign to issue transgender identity cards to be launched soon. Privacy and confidentiality will be paramount throughout this process. Furthermore, efforts will be made to facilitate access to essential documents like Voter ID, Aadhaar Card, ABHA Card, and Ration Card, alongside other benefits. The ultimate goal is to foster self-reliance within the transgender community through skill development training, self-help groups, and support for small-scale industries, connecting them to relevant government schemes. Officials stressed that the transgender community is an integral part of society and deserves equal rights, opportunities, and respect.
