The University Grants Commission (UGC) has asked universities and colleges across the country to include transgender as third gender in their scheme of "gender champions".
The UGC had last year instructed the institutes to appoint gender champions among students to foster equal treatment for both the genders on the campus. The aim was to achieve gender equality in the educational institutions. There was, however, no specific instruction about the third gender.
