PPT on education system

and sources of fuel and

energy in Ladakh…
 The Students' Educational and
Education system in Cultural Movement of Ladakh
(SECMOL) is an organization
Ladakh.. founded in 1988 aimed at
reforming the educational system
of Ladakh, by a group of young
Ladakhi's returning from university
who understood the problems of
the younger generation with
modern education, their lack of
focus and the cultural confusion.
Their activities include working to
reform the government school
system, helping village students in
their education, awakening youth
to the problems stemming from
inappropriate and insensitive
schooling, producing related videos
and radio programs, and designing
and building solar-heated eco-
friendly buildings.
 Leh, one of the two districts of high altitude
mountainous Ladakh region, is one of the
most sparsely populated districts in Jammu
and Kashmir. Leh district with an area of
45100 Sq. Kms makes it 2nd largest district in
the country after Kutch (Gujrat) with an area
45652 Sq. Kms in terms of area. The density
of population per sq. km is 3. The district has
six educational Zones i.e. Leh, Karu, Khalsti,
Nobra, Nyoma and Durbuk. It has 112
revenue villages with 379 habitations and
has been divided into 48 educational
Clusters under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyaan (SSA),
the flagship programme of Government of
India for Universalization of Elementary
Education. It has one degree college, one
DIET, one ITI, one Polytechnique college, 14
higher secondary schools, 24 High schools,
137 UPP schools and 163 Primary schools.

 Sources of energy
in Ladakh
he Himalayan mountains make it difficult to
connect the Ladakh region to the main national
grid. Historically most electricity was created
using diesel generators. However, Ladakh has
been called the "roof of the world" with
abundant sunlight and clear air making it
unusually suitable for solar energy technologies.
LREDA was founded in 2000 by the Ladakh
Autonomous Hill Development Council that
"studied and advised the local government to
harness solar energy in the mountainous region."
In 2012, Jigmet Takpa, director of LREDA said,
"Diesel is highly polluting and its cost is extremely
high. In the next five years, the whole of Ladakh
will be electrified by hydro, solar or geothermal
generated renewable power."
