After being appointed as the South Regional representative and member of the National Council for Trans Persons (NCTP), I was invited by the Ministry of Social Justice, Govt of India for the first meeting. The first meeting of the NCTP was held at Dr. Ambedkar International Centre, New Delhi. Some of the points I had briefed to the officials at the meeting were as follows: a) The waiting period to get the transgender identity card is now 45 days. It must be reduced to 14 days. b) The government has announced the issuance of the TG Plus Health Insurance Card in 2022 but there has been a delay of more than an year in the issuance of the health card. The card will be immensely helpful for the transgender community's medical needs. Steps should be taken for issuance of the TG Plus Insurance Card as soon as possible. c) There has to be a series of sensitization programs offered to the officials of the ministries and government departments about issues of the transgender community. This will create an understanding and speed up the work for the community's empowerment. d) Such programs on inclusion should be conducted by the transgender community activists and leaders and the organizations with the government support. e) Education, entrepreneurship and health should be some of the important aspects that the ministry should focus immediately for the transgender community's welfare. #inclusion #govtofindia #transgender #Msje
