𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗺 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗸: 𝗔𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿:) Born in 1966 in Uleytokpo, Ladakh; graduated in Mechanical Engineering from NIT Srinagar (1987). Founded SECMOL (1988), reforming Ladakh’s education system → improved Class 10 pass rate from 5% to 75%+. Promoted local culture, language, and community-driven schools across Ladakh. Innovated sustainable solutions: SECMOL solar campus, passive solar houses (cut heating needs by 60–70%), and Ice Stupas (10–15 million liters water each, irrigating 50–100 hectares; 50+ built). Prevented 20–30% crop losses, reduced kerosene/diesel dependence, and advocated renewable energy. Became a social activist, demanding Sixth Schedule safeguards & statehood for Ladakh. Led major movements: 21-day climate fast (2024) and Gen Z–led Leh protests (2025) → large youth participation; later arrested under NSA. Highlighted ecological strain: 3–4 lakh tourists annually vs ~3 lakh population. Received global recognition: Rolex Award (2016), Ramon Magsaysay Award (2018). Inspired the character “Phunsukh Wangdu” in 3 Idiots.

Here is a Reason Why Demanding 6th Schedule & Statehood for Ladakh Could Be Bad for India 1. Strategic Sensitivity - Ladakh borders China and Pakistan, making it a highly sensitive military zone. - Greater autonomy could complicate India's security operations and military control in the region. 2. Weakened Central Control - Statehood or 6th Schedule could reduce direct control by the central government, limiting its ability to manage foreign threats and infrastructure projects. - Granting special status may trigger similar demands from other regions (e.g., Jammu, Gorkhaland, Bodoland), risking further political fragmentation. 3. Administrative Complications - Ladakh has a small population but a vast area, making it hard to sustain a separate state or autonomous governance structure efficiently. 4. Conflict Between Communities - Ladakh has both Buddhist (Leh) and Shia Muslim (Kargil) populations with different political aspirations. 5. Impact on National Projects.
