NEW DELHI: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday announced two key cabinet decisions -- a significant increase in reservation for Anganwadi workers in supervisor posts and the grant of social and backward classes (OBC) status to the transgender community in the state.
“Earlier, 25% of the supervisor posts were reserved for Anganwadi workers. Now, 50% of the supervisor posts will be reserved for Anganwadi workers. The remaining 50% posts will be recruited through the state-level recruitment process,” Sarma said.
In another major decision aimed at social inclusion, the Assam cabinet approved OBC status for the transgender community. “Today, the Assam cabinet has approved to provide social and backwards classes status to the transgender community. We will provide identity cards only to those people in the transgender community who are the original inhabitants of Assam,” the chief minister added.
