When we open a newspaper in the morning, it will be flooded with advertisements. In fact one can come across more advertisements than news! Further when people put on radio or television, they are bombarded with advertisements. When one steps out of the house, it becomes impossible to escape outdoor advertisements in the form of hoardings, bill boards, electronic ads, Transit ads, wall writings and so on. Even without their knowledge, people are exposed to a large number of advertisements. So practically, it is impossible to escape advertisements these days. The matter of concern here is the kind of messages that gets passed on through the advertisements. Portrayal of various concepts in the advertisements has always been an interesting area of research or study. Extensive studies have been conducted on depiction of women in advertisements. It is the same with the depiction of children in advertisements. The social and economic effects of advertisements, the cultural aspects are widely studied. But one aspect that has been completely sidelined is the actual understanding of gender issue in advertising. When the phrase ‘Gender and advertising’ is used; it is usually understood as the portrayal of the roles played by men and women in society. But what about the Transgender population? This perspective is rarely covered in advertisements.

Mean standard deviation, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis Tests were the involved statistical tools. Results revealed that the ICCC students were “Highly Affected” during the ECQ in terms of their Existence and Relatedness Needs. For Existence needs, students have experienced various fears for their health and family members and limited economic mobility due to lack of jobs and business closure.
