Chandigarh, Dec 09 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 09 interacted with beneficiaries of the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra (VBSY) via video conferencing. Mona, a transgender beneficiary of VBSY from Chandigarh interacted with PM Modi and informed him about owning a tea shop in Chandigarh. Talking about the interaction with PM Modi, Mona said, “I felt happy after talking to PM Modi. I got a loan of Rs 10,000 (from the government) three years ago and I started my tea shop. Then I got a loan of Rs 20,000 and then Rs 50,000. PM Modi appreciated my work...I thank PM Modi.” Other members of the transgender community also praised the PM Modi for his gesture. Tanushree, a transgender from Nagpur said, “It is good to see that our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has interacted with a transgender and inquired about their future life and employment. It is very happy to see that now the government is also thinking about the transgender community and the problems faced by them including marital life or livelihood and govt is paying attention towards it...After the conversation with PM Modi, we got the inspiration that yes, we are not separate from the society, we are also a part of the society and the society is now accepting us...” Mohini, a transgender from Nagpur said, “I am very happy that our Prime Minister Modi spoke with a transgender. Even today in society, we are looked at with hatred but our Prime Minister took this initiative with the (mantra) of 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas'. PM Modi asked about Mona's well-being...I thank PM Narendra Modi...” “The interaction between PM Modi and Mona was so nice that I totally feel that this is a next step towards a better India...It is going to give hope to millions of other transgenders in the country to start their own businesses and make employment for themselves...” said 2017 Miss Trans Queen Nitasha.
