In a unique effort to bring eunuchs in social mainstream, a "school" has been specially set up for transgenders in the district which will also provide them vocational training.

"Eunuchs are generally ostracised by society. They have full right to live like normal people," Syed Ehtshaam Huda, chief medical superintendent and the brain behind the school, said.

The school, which has been named as 'Aas' (hope), will also offer rehabilitation services.
