Ek Samman – Kinnaron Ke Naam
Dignity, Respect, and Inclusion for the Transgender Community
Launched originally in 2017 under our sister concern Shree Maharishi Productions and revived under GSF in 2025, Ek Samman – Kinnaron Ke Naam is a pioneering initiative that champions the rights and dignity of India’s transgender (Kinnar) community.
This signature program is one of the first in North India to bring visibility, respect, and real opportunity to the Kinnar population. Through public events, health and legal support, and cultural recognition, we aim to break stigma and empower individuals who have long been marginalized.
Vision: To build a society where the transgender community is treated with equal respect, rights, and recognition—ensuring their rightful place in every sphere of life.
