In an effort to improve the education of transgender people, Tamil Nadu

government was the first to create a third gender for admissions to government
colleges in May 2008 setting example which was only adopted by Indian
Government in 2014. The only institution which can think about social justice
apart from the usual politics is DMK and Dravida Social Politics and here is why
we need it.
The Tamil Nadu state in India was the first state to introduce a transgender
welfare policy. According to the transgender welfare policy transgender people
can access free Sex Reassignment Surgery (SRS) in the Government Hospital
(only for transfeminine people); free housing program; various citizenship
documents; admission in government colleges with full scholarship for higher
studies; alternative sources of livelihood through formation of self-help groups
(for savings) and initiating income-generation programmes (IGP). Tamil Nadu was
also the first state to form a Transgender Welfare Board with representatives
from the transgender community.
In a pioneering effort to solve the problems faced by transgender people, the
government of Tamil Nadu (a state in South India) established a transgender
welfare board in April 2008. Social welfare minister will serve as the president of
the board. This effort is touted to be the first in India and even in the world. The
government has also started issuing separate food ration cards for transgender
people. Even though the transgender welfare board solely started focusing only
on the development of Trans women in recent days the rights of Trans men and
gender variants are discussed.
In additional effort to improve the education of transgender people, Tamil Nadu
government also issued an order on May 2008 to create a third gender for
admissions to government colleges.
On April 24 2015 Tiruchi Siva DMK moved the popular bill Rights of Transgender
Persons Bil, which was supported by all political parties in Rajya Sabha, for
transgender people to ensure they get benefits akin reserved communities like
SC/STs and is taking steps to see that they get enrolment in schools and jobs in
government besides protection from sexual harassment,legal aid, pensions,
unemployment allowances and skill development for transgender people. It also
contains provisions to prohibit discrimination in employment, prevent abuse,
violence and exploitation of transgender people.
The Bill also provides for the establishment of welfare boards at the Centre and
State level, and for Transgender Rights Courts. The Bill was introduced by DMK
MP Tiruchi Siva, and marked the first time the House had passed a private
member's bill in 45 years. The Bill was passed unanimously by the House.
