Bhopal Issues ID Card for Third Gender
For the first time ever, Bhopal’s administration has decided to issue ID cards to Transgender people to help them avail the benefits of the schemes by the social justice department.
Till now in India, Transgender people have Aadhar card, PAN card, etc. However, there never had a separate ID card, that was proof about them being Transgender.
Now for the first time ever, Bhopal’s local administration has decided to issue ID cards to Transgender people to help them avail the benefits of the schemes that are run by the social justice department in Bhopal. It will be the first city in the country to issue such ID cards. All members of the Transgender Community in Bhopal will get such ID cards. This is a step forward to empower transgender people.
In September 2020, the Uttar Pradesh government had also planned on setting up a transgender welfare board which would issue ID cards for them.
