Union Government today said, there is no proposal as of now to provide reservation to transgender people in education or jobs.
In a written reply in Lok Sabha, Minister

Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Act, 2019 provides for
formulation of a scheme for transgender persons including generation of
livelihood opportunities for them.

governments to take up schemes that address the issues of access of
transgender persons to health, education, welfare, shelter and economic
support for livelihoods. Mr Gehlot said, a scheme is being formulated
for addressing these issues which includes skill upgradation of
transgenders.
