This refers to the HRD Ministry’s advice to States and Union Territories to take action to include the “third gender” children in educational institutions under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (July 25).
The government is oblivious to the social prison the third gender children live in. The insecurity of families is bound to increase when they declare the sex of their children. The government should involve social scientists and take their views before proceeding further on the move.
