With Ladakh being declared as a Union Territory, our vision is now aligned in removing major barriers in the prevailing education system in the region and create opportunities for youth to study and become successful entrepreneurs.”

Shri Jamyang Tsering Namgyal, MP of Ladakh, Guest of Honour said, “With Ladakh being declared a Union Territory, there is now a greater need than ever before for entrepreneurial ventures that provide local youth with new opportunities, generate employment in the region and help shape a brighter future for people of Ladakh. Naropa Fellows have already made a great start by undertaking ventures with the potential to make a positive impact on the Himalayan region. I wish them the very best in all their future endeavours.”
