They will be deployed in different sections of the Kochi Metro, to do various jobs like housekeeping, selling tickets as well as canteen duties.
"We would like to give members of the transgender community their rightful share in different jobs at stations," Elias George, the managing director for Kochi Metro Rail, told The Hindu in May. "I hope other firms in Kerala give them a respectable opportunity to work."
India's apex court gave citizens the right to declare themselves as belonging to a non-binary third gender in 2014.
Despite that, many of the country's estimated two million transgender people find themselves facing hostility and abuse, and some thrown out of their homes are forced into sex work.
Kerala -- which has an estimated 25,000-strong transgender community -- offers free gender confirmation surgery at government hospitals, and promotes "inclusive education". The state is also home to India's first school for the transgender community, which opened in January this year.
