The 'Mission Sahara' began after Raghav Chadha was approached by the area District Magistrate along with a non-profit organization to help the transgender community which witnessed tough times during the pandemic.

New Delhi: Raghav Chadha, Rajinder Nagar MLA, flagged off ‘Mission Sahara’, an initiative to help and assist the transgender community in his constituency. The mission began after Chadha was approached by the area District Magistrate along with a non-profit organization namely Community Empowerment Trust, to help the transgender community which has witnessed tough times in the pandemic. Chadha deployed different teams of volunteers to identify and prepare the ration kits for about 100 transgender people, who have been unable to access ration kits via the already existing Free Ration Distribution Scheme of the Kejriwal government.  The formed teams will further help this community by completing their KYC and other documentation required in order to come under the ambit of the Government’s Ration Distribution Scheme. It becomes even more important to come for their assistance in these tough times of the pandemic.
