HYDRAA jobs

Hyderabad: Hyderabad Disaster Response and Asset Protection Agency (HYDRAA) jobs are bringing new opportunities, financial stability and social recognition to members of the transgender community in Telangana. The employment initiative has helped many beneficiaries gain confidence and rebuild their lives with dignity.

HYDRAA has provided jobs to 16 transgender persons, including 11 trans women and five trans men. Officials have deployed them as part of the “HYDRAA Eagle Team” to support field operations and public outreach activities.

The team assists officials during anti-encroachment drives and participates in efforts to protect lakes, nalas, parks and government lands. Members of the team say the employment has given them not just a livelihood but also a sense of identity and purpose.

Officials said members of the Eagle Team have played an active role in several operations. They contributed to efforts to protect 862 acres of government land at Ailapur in Ameenpur mandal of Sangareddy district.

They also participated in recent operations to protect Eidulakunta in Madhapur. Their responsibilities include interacting with residents, speaking with women affected by the operations and helping officials coordinate with local communities.

HYDRAA officials said the team members often help ease tensions and improve communication during field operations. They credited the employees’ patience and ability to understand people’s concerns for the positive response received during several drives.

Many transgender employees working with HYDRAA now support their families financially. They said regular income and social acceptance have significantly improved their lives.

Gayathri, a member of the team, said respect matters more than money. She said wearing the HYDRAA uniform gives her pride and confidence. According to her, the opportunity proves that transgender persons can excel in any field when given equal opportunities.

Ruchitha said working with HYDRAA has given her a distinct identity and an opportunity to contribute to the protection of public assets and natural resources.

Tanshi Rai said many transgender persons earlier faced ridicule and rejection while seeking work. She said people now treat them with respect when they see them performing official duties in uniform.
