The Census 2011
has registered 4.88 lakh people as belonging to the community, which
activists say is a conservative estimate. “Even by this estimate, less
than 1% of the overall transgender population of the country have
received NISD assistance. Most still remain out of the state’s reach,
and continue to survive in most gruelling circumstances,” said Meera
Sanghamitra, trans activist and convenor of the National Alliance of People’s Movements in Telangana.
