TESTIMONIAL
"Bhumi Manikpuri, a trans woman, is a resident of Shelter Home, Raipur. She comes from a poor family background and faces rejection from them because of her gender identity. She is a bright student, but was unable to pursue and prepare for a competitive examination due to her identity.
She was not comfortable with institutions full of a heterosexual community. Under the current program, she is now preparing for the Chhattisgarh Police Department. She has scored 158 out of 200 in just 6 months of her preparation for the examination. She is also getting prepared for a physical examination.”
