Parichaya Gowda has become the first transgender person to be appointed as an employee at the State Secretariat (Vidhana Soudha).
In an attempt to empower sexuality minorities, Women and Child Development Minister Jaimala has set a precedent by appointing Parichaya Gowda at her office at the State Secretariat. Parichaya Gowda would work as an attendant on a contract basis.
In an official release, Ms. Jaimala said, “Transgender community, a much- neglected one, must be empowered to join the mainstream of society”.
