TESTIMONIAL
"Through Chhattisgarh Mitwa's constant efforts on training, support and confidence building, eight transgender candidates have been selected as Police Constables in the Chhattisgarh Police Department for the first time. This selection was made under the 2024 police recruitment notification, issued after 2019, which included separate options and application provisions for transgender candidates alongside the male and female categories.
Based on their outstanding performance in the 2025 physical efficiency test and written examination, the eight selected candidates, Bhumi Manikpuri, Khushi Dhruv, Sanjana Dhruv, Ranu Yadav, Pavitra Chandravanshi, Laxmi Sahu, Apsara Jaiswal, and Subhi Yadav from Raipur, Bemetara, Janjgir-Champa, Kanker, and other districts, were onboarded. Despite facing social stigma, family challenges, and multiple obstacles, they maintained unwavering determination towards their goal, achieving this inspiring success. This accomplishment is not just a success for the selected candidates but marks a milestone for the entire transgender community, promoting self-respect, dignity, and new opportunities."
