The Jharkhand Cabinet recently made a significant decision that holds paramount importance, not just for the transgender community but also for the broader social fabric of the state. In a historic move, the cabinet approved pension benefits and OBC (Other Backward Classes) status for the transgender community, acknowledging their rights and addressing long-standing issues of discrimination. This landmark decision is set to have a profound impact on various government exams, including those for teachers, police officers, banking, railways, defense, and civil service positions like PSCS to IAS.
