Kolkata, March 18 (IANS) The West Bengal cabinet on Wednesday approved the formation of a Transgender Development Board, a minister announced.
"The state cabinet has approved the formation of Transgender Development Board in the state. Once it comes into force, a census will also be conducted," Women and Child Welfare Minister Shashi Panja said.
