JUSTIFICATION
There is a clear need for not only personal support through relationships but also
opportunities to connect back to the community with social educational outreach
programs and the administration tasks that are involved with that. This community
outreach will allow for a facility that will open itself to everyone .
It will serve as a gather-ing space for neighbourhood groups of hijras , non-profits as
well as those activities stated earlier. The need for community spaces like this is to
allow for the promotion of greater diversity in culture and will allow for people and
the spaces they live to grow and evolve through connection and understanding.

•The board is expected to be run by direct democracy and intends to provide trans people
access to government welfare schemes. Karthik Bittu Kondaiah, an associate professor at
Ashoka University, told The News Minute,
•“It should cater not only to visible trans women but also to trans men, gender fluid trans
persons and give the minorities in the transgender community an opportunity to study
or work… A welfare board is a government institution. It should not be in any way a
hierarchical structure. I hope that the welfare board will serve the young members of the
community irrespective of their identities.”
