        abstract = {This research paper is an attempt to explore the National Education Policy-2020 and its emphasis on inclusive and holistic approach to learning in future with reference to transgender literature. Education Policy-2020 introduced the Gender Inclusive Approach in India. This Approach emphasizes the integration of LGBTIQ community. National Education policy views education as a reformative tool which helps to access margins of society. Transgender literature is considered new branch for learning. Teaching of transgender literature will portray the current state of transgender individual in India. Transgender literature will redefine the concept of gender. It will sensitize educator and learner to the need of transgender individual. Curriculum enriched with transgender literature helps to minimize the gender-based discrimination. National Education Policy-2020 is a harbinger to equitable learning for gender non-conforming children which paves a way for Transgender literature at the secondary and tertiary levels of National Educational Curriculum.},
