Sahaj International School, India's first residential transgender school will be inaugurated on December 30. 10 transgenders will comprise the first batch, who will study under the National Open School system. Transgender rights activist and artist Kalki Subramaniam will inaugurate the school.

The faculty comprises six transgenders from the TransIndia Foundation.

Selected from different sections of society, the students include a specially-abled person and a migrant. "In the beginning, we have a few sponsors supporting us. We are planning to seek financial help from government after proving its worthiness," Vijayaraja Mallika, who first proposed the idea, told the Indian Express.

A Christian organisation and the National Open School have extended their support, and teachers and social workers have volunteered to hold classes. The curriculum also includes skill development program.

Class X and XII equivalent education and exams will be provided.
