This directory brings together publicly available information
about LGBTQIA+ support groups, community organisations,
transgender organisations, peer-support networks, counselling
resources, health organisations and LGBTQIA+-friendly community
services across India.
Resources are organised by city and region so that people can
find a relevant organisation more easily.

Important information:
This is an informational community-resource directory.
IndianDost does not operate, control or officially represent the
organisations listed here unless specifically stated.
Phone numbers, email addresses, office locations, programmes and
social-media accounts can change. Please verify current contact
information through an organisation's official website or current
social-media account before visiting an office or sharing
personal information.
Some LGBTQIA+ groups are informal or operate primarily through
private online communities. Their information may therefore be
intentionally limited for community safety and privacy.
