Thiruvanantapuram, July 26, 2023: The Kerala government on Wednesday announced its decision to grant reservation to transgender students pursuing nursing courses in the state.
Making the announcement, Health Minister Veena George said one seat each would be reserved for the TG members in the BSc nursing and general nursing courses from now onwards.
"This is for the first time in the history (of the state) that reservation has been granted for transgenders in the field of nursing", she said in a statement here.
The state government has been taking great initiatives for the upliftment of the marginalised community and the reservation in the nursing sector is part of such efforts, she said.
