SaralnamaThe Supreme Court asked for responses from the government, NCERT, and states on 1 Sep 2025. A 16-year-old student filed a petition for transgender-inclusive sex education in schools. The court gave 6 weeks to reply. The plea says NCERT and most states haven't included gender identity in textbooks. This violates the 2014 SC judgment and 2019 Transgender Act. The petition wants accurate, age-appropriate sex education across India. In Dec 2024, the SC had stressed sex education's role in stopping child marriages. It ordered states to add it to school syllabi. (Updated 1 Sep 2025, 23:02 IST; source: link)
