WHAT: Press conference by hijra and transgender community on lack of implementation of the NALSA judgment and need for 'TRANSGENDER' column in the admission forms of Universities.

WHERE: Lamakaan, Banjara Hills WHEN: 1 pm

In July, 2014, UGC had issued a circular asking all varsities to include transgenders in different fellowship/scholarship schemes. According to the Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Vijay Sampla, in all the application forms of the universities under University Grants Commission (UGC), there now has to be a column for transgender community students. However, this has yet to be implemented in many universities including University of Hyderabad and we wish to hereby begin a campaign for the same.

All friends from media are invited for the meet. For RSVP: 8179542651
