A transgender activist, Kalki Subramaniam, trains her community members in documentary film-making in Chennai.

Subramaniam said on Friday the Information Technology could play a tremendous role in the empowerment of marginalised, stigmatised transgender community.

"If you look our country (India), the current scenario is that in Information and Media Technology our country is one of the fastest growing countries in the world and actually this could play a tremendous role in the empowerment of marginalised, stigmatised community like our transgender community," said Subramaniam.
