Assam Public Service Commission To Include 'Transgender' Category In Forms
In a progressive move, Assam has decided to include 'transgender' category option in the forms of the state civil services examination. Reportedly, Swati Bidhan Baruah, a notable transgender activist, has approached the Assam Public Service Commission's (APSC) for this matter. Subsequently, APSC held deliberations with UPSC in this regard and inducted the 'transgender' category in applications form after the state government's nod. Assam became the first state to do so.
