Governments in Delhi, Maharashtra, and Telangana have taken significant measures to promote the well-being and inclusion of the transgender community. In Delhi, the Women and Child Welfare Department, guided by the National Human Rights Commission, has directed the establishment of anti-discrimination cells, inclusion of ‘third gender’ in job applications, and provision of ‘all gender’ or separate transgender washrooms in government offices. Maharashtra has passed a ‘Government Resolution,’ ensuring free higher education for transgender students in public universities and affiliated colleges, covering diploma and technical courses.
