The Union Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry has advised all States and Union Territories (UTs), barring Jammu and Kashmir, to take appropriate action for the inclusion of “third gender’’ children among socially and educationally backward classes for admission in educational institutions under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) to universalize elementary education. This is in keeping with the Supreme Court order of April 15, 2014, to treat and grant legal recognition to the “third gender”.
