MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (DR. D. PURANDESWARI)
(a): No, Sir.
(b): Does not arise.
(c): Article 15(1) of the Constitution prohibits
discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or
place of birth. Therefore, no educational institutions can
deny admission to transgender community on the basis of sex
only and they have equal right to get education in an
institution of their choice.
