Physical education teacher Mandodari Chauhan of Kota, Rajasthan, has legally changed her gender to male and will now be identified as Rudr Jat, following an official order from the Bikaner Education Directorate.
Physical education instructor Mandodari Chauhan, employed in a government school in Kota, Rajasthan, has completed a legal gender transition and will henceforth be recorded as male under the name Rudr Jat. The change was formalised after the teacher submitted the requisite documentation to the state education authorities.
The Bikaner Education Directorate issued an official order under the Rajasthan Service Rules, authorising both the name and gender amendment in the teacher's service records. The directive mandates that all future correspondence, payroll and official listings reflect the new identity.
The move highlights the procedural pathway available to government employees in Rajasthan who seek gender recognition, though such cases remain relatively uncommon in the public sector. The teacher has not disclosed further personal details, and the school administration confirmed that the transition will not affect her duties or employment status.
