Foreword
The fourth hill council received its mandate
in the aftermath of the 2010 flash flood
that caused tragic loss of life and damaged
property at an unprecedented scale. As a result, the fourth hill council faced the added
challenge of providing long-term relief,
rehabilitation and restoration of damaged
infrastructure besides fulfilling the obligations of its popular mandate.
As an institution, the hill council remains
constrained by several factors including a limited constitutional mandate, weak policy
framework and inadequate resources. Despite these constrains, I am proud to report
that the fourth hill council managed to achieve several milestones as a result of the unstinting support of the general public and the untiring efforts of my colleagues in the
council and officers of the district administration led by the Chief Executive Officer of
LAHDC, Leh. Through their efforts, the fourth council was able to overcome several
challenges including resolution of the large financial liability inherited from the third
hill council, the long-term relief and rehabilitation of those affected by the 2010 flash
floods and hosting of the 33rd Kalachakra.
Since 2011, the fourth hill council has endeavored to bring about positive change and
improvements on many fronts. One of these sectors is education, where the efforts of
different stakeholders have borne fruits by way of a consistent improvement in board
exam results since 2011. The fourth hill council also prioritized transparency and improvement in the work culture of government offices in the district to ensure that public services were delivered in a prompt and decentralized manner. While there is always
scope for improvement, it is heartening to observe changes in the general work culture
that has started to produce results in different sectors.
The fourth hill council has continued with efforts to keep Ladakhi society rooted in its
time-tested cultural values even as it embraces modernity. The Ladakh Vision Document 2025 and LAHDC Perspective Plan for 12th Five Year Plan have provided important bridges to connect traditional heritage and modern values. They have helped
shape the fourth hill councils efforts to build a resilient and self-contained society that
champions social equity and justice, economic self reliance and inclusive development.
In leading the fourth hill council, I have witnessed the determination and persistence
of different stakeholders whose efforts have strengthened the hill council, which now
serves as a model for hill area development in India and around the world. While this is
commendable, we must guard against complacency and continue striving for excellence.

LAND-BASED ECONOMY
Land-based economy includes agriculture and livestock husbandry and remains the backbone of Ladakhi society and economy. However, its importance has reduced greatly in the
last few years, with the advent of new employment opportunities. The restructuring of the
economy has eroded the self-sufficiency of traditional Ladakhi society. There is therefore a
need to sustain the land-based economy by making it more remunerative.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
10
The IT sector is not dependent on local natural resources and presents a unique opportunity
for growth and global excellence. In addition to its ability to generate plentiful employment
opportunities for educated Ladakhi youth in years to come, the IT sector has also emerged as
a strong enabler of critical development activities that are required in Ladakh today such as
e-governance, connectivity, distance education, disaster preparedness and telemedicine. However, this will require investment in appropriate infrastructure and skill training.
TOURISM
The tourism sector has emerged as one of the fastest growing components of the Ladakhi
economy. It provides jobs to thousands of people today and is a steady source of income for
local residents. However, Ladakhs tourism potential remains largely untapped and unregulated. Growth in this sector will require infrastructure development and training facilities
for professional hospitality management.
SMALL SCALE & COTTAGE INDUSTRIES
This sector includes manufacturing industries as well as the handloom and handicrafts activities. Given its traditional practices, this sector has vast untapped potential for employment
generation and economic growth. This is further supported by the availability of resources
such as apricots, pashmina wool and skilled craftsmen. It now requires entrepreneurial efforts to tap these advantages and realise their potential.
URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE
As the district headquarter, the infrastructure facilities in Leh are critically important. In
recent years, the towns infrastructure has been under tremendous pressure due to a growing
population driven by a tourism boom and rural-urban migration. There is now an urgent
need to improve traffic and transportation facilities in Leh, while also developing recreation
and other facilities. The main challenge remains modernization of the town, while also retaining its traditional character.
RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Rural infrastructure is important as it sustains traditional, village-based economy and society. The main challenge of developing rural infrastructure is to discourage rural-urban
migration by upgrading services like water, power and telecommunications.
WATER RESOURCES
Water resources play a crucial role in the region as it is a semi-arid desert. Drinking and irrigation water facilities need to be improved significantly in Ladakh, given that the demand
for water in the region is anticipated to increase in the future. Simultaneously, flood control
work also needs to be carried out to prevent possible damage, while conserving water resources.
POWER & ENERGY
Power and energy are perhaps the most urgently required resources in Ladakh today. The
scarcity of power and energy serves as an important constraint for development in the region. Ladakh has no natural reservoir of fossil fuels and the distribution of power to remote
areas remains a challenge. These can be addressed through the use of renewable energy and
technologies and decentralised power generation and distribution systems. Furthermore, it
is important to instil a culture of energy conservation amongst the local population.
HEALTH & ENVIRONMENT
Being a high altitude region, Ladakh is home to a host of diseases peculiar to the region that
needs to be understood and managed appropriately. Also, in the context of limited physical
connectivity through the year, it is imperative that all medical facilities are available in the
region. Besides overhauling the health infrastructure, its also important to establish a special
institution to study the health challenges in higher altitudes.
EDUCATION
For many decades, the education sector in Ladakh has suffered neglect. The situation has
improved considerably through the active intervention of local communities, though many
challenges still remain. Some important challenges include the economic viability and lack
of relevance to local context and links with future occupations. There is this an urgent need
to make education in Ladakh economically sustainable, locally relevant and linked with
various occupations.
CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Ladakhs traditional society, based on principles of sustainability and community-based cooperation, is on the decline today as are its rich cultural practices. There is an urgent need for
Ladakh to preserve its traditional values, if it is to emerge as a society that ensures economic,
social and environmental justice.
11
The vision document underlines the need for a people-centred approach to development.
This will require participatory institutions at various levels of decision-making and planning. These include the LAHDC, panchayat, block development councils and an elected
municipality (for Leh Town). Micro-level planning will then form the basis for planning, as
illustrated by the experience of the planning and implementation process in 200506 and
2006-07.
12
The vision document is loosely based on four sectionsthe traditional economy, the new
economy, physical infrastructure and social infrastructure. The important feature of this
classification is that the lower sections are broader and supportive of the other sections.
Thus, social infrastructure can be conceptualized as a base for all other activities in Ladakhi
society, followed by physical infrastructure and the land-based economy. Within the new
economy, industry (being a more basic sector) is at the base, while IT is at the cutting edge
of developmental change. The clear theme that emerges from this vision is one of economic
prosperity that includes all developmental concerns and is supported by social networks and
support systems.
However, the importance of land-based economy is highlighted over the new economy, as
they remain the bedrock of Ladakhi society. Thus, society must embrace the opportunities of the new economy while also preserving the time-tested processes of the traditional
or land-based economy. Further, development in Ladakh must be inclusive and based on
dialogues that allow different perspectives to be respected and included in decision-making.
These principles highlighted in the vision document provide the main context for planning
and implementation of developmental activities in Ladakh. In this document, the vision
document provides the broad structure to organize and evaluate the performance of the
fourth hill council whose term was from 2011 to 2015.
13
The term of the fourth council of the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development
Council, Leh spanned from 2011 to 2015. While these years have been eventful,
the fourth council was formed in the wake of the massive destruction caused by the
flash floods in August 2010. While the third hill council oversaw the immediate
relief and rehabilitation activities, the fourth hill council was responsible for long
term recovery, rebuilding communities, reclaiming lost resources and developing a
disaster management plan for the district. As substantiated by the reports of various
departments, this recovery and rebuilding processespecially in terms of physical
infrastructure, agricultural land and water channelswas largely completed within
two years, despite the short working season (May to October) in Ladakh.
14
The chairman of the fourth hill council, Rigzin Spalbar has been a key figure in providing administrative and political leadership to fulfil many long pending demands,
infrastructural development, educational reforms, facilitating growth in the tourism
sector and ensuring that the benefits of different programmes reach every section of
the society. The fourth council has managed to get a number of projects sanctioned
from the central and state government.
The chairman of the council has also taken personal interest in raising the educational standards in the district and has retained the education portfolio. He has taken special efforts to work with the education department to fill vacancies, improve
transparency in teacher transfers and hold extra classes where necessary. The impact
of these efforts is reflected in a sustained improvement being reported in board exam
(10th and 12th) results and higher student enrolment.
In 2012, the fourth hill council inaugurated a girls hostel for students
pursuing their post graduate degrees
in Jammu.

16
The fourth council has initiated farmers cooperatives and supply chains for
milk production and consumption.
The fourth council has distributed
land to deserving individuals and institutions, while also addressing many
long-standing cases related to land
ownership in Leh town and villages
around it. Besides villagers, land has
been allotted to set up educational
(degree college in Diskit, Kashmir University satellite campus) and development institutions (SKUAST, K centres)
in different parts of the district.
As an IT initiative in the district, the
fourth hill council launched a griev-

Land-based economy
This section includes agriculture and livestock husbandry sectors, which
forms the basis of traditional Ladakhi society. In recent years, the
significance of the land-based economy has reduced greatly in Ladakh.
This is largely caused by the availability of alternative employment
opportunities in Ladakh. While this does not pose a serious challenge,
overt dependence on the outside world for critical requirements such as
food is neither sustainable nor desirable. The departments under this
section focus on strengthening land-based economic activities in Ladakh.
26
Agriculture Department
The main objective of the agriculture department is to increase productivity and
production of various crops and adoption of new technologies by the farming
community. In addition, they also promote cultivation of improved high-yielding
seeds, integrated nutrient management, pest management, compost-making, organic farming and the use of modern agricultural tools and machinery.

ACHIEVEMENTS
The department has procured a soiltesting van, which will be operational
from the 2015 cropping season.
The department has introduced new
farm-related machineries to make
farming easy, convenient and attractive. It provides a multi-crop thresher
powered by a diesel engine, crop
reaper at 50% subsidy, power tiller at
33% subsidy and water lifting pump
at 50% subsidy to a maximum of
10,000 farmers.
A hostel-cum-training centre has
been constructed at Leh for farmers
from remote parts of the district.
A Mushroom Spawn (seed) Production unit is under construction at the
Vegetable Development Farm in Gupuk near Leh to supply farmers in the
district with mushroom seeds.
In 2011-12, the department initiated
production of certified potato seeds
by providing an initial supply of 904
quintals of seeds to registered growers.
Around 1,900 quintals of high quality certified seeds of pea (Arkal) were
distributed to farmers to enable cultivation of fresh peas for personal
consumption and for sale in Ladakh,
Srinagar, Jammu and Delhi.
The production of cash crops in the
district has increased almost 400%
in the past few years, with increased
area coverage in Leh town and surrounding villages. This has helped
improve the socio-economic status
of these farmers.
In the last five years, the department
has provided financial support to construct 705 vegetable cellars to store
surplus vegetables for the winter.
The department has built 782 trenches and 19 commercial green houses
to help grow offseason crops and
raise vegetable seedlings early in the
season.
The department has provided 255
units of chain link fencing to farmers
in the district to establish kitchen gardens.
Since 2011, the department has
sponsored 6,000 Kissan Credit Cards
through various banks in the district. So far, the banks have disbursed
5,597 cases and released an amount
of 52.65 crores.
Since 2011, the department has been
organizing district-level exhibitions
for vegetables and fruits. It has also
organized 22 farmer camps in different blocks of the district. The department has also taken 60 farmers for an
exposure tour to Himachal Pradesh,
Punjab and Haryana, which included
visits to the Indian Agricultural Research Institute and Sher-e-Kashmir
University of Agricultural Science and
Technology, Kashmir.
In 2014-15, the department distributed 402 quintals162 quintals more

This has been achieved through the
use of intensive fodder production
techniques at the farms operated by
the department. The surplus fodder
is routed through feed/fodder banks
to promote nutritional security of
small ruminants in Changthang and
to serve as a source of revenue for the
department.
A total of 7,666 Breeder Registration
Cards have been issued to sheep and
goat breeders in the district. From
2015, all developmental and support
initiatives of the department have
been channeled through this system.
In an effort to address water scarcity
and reduce grazing pressures, five
bore well pumps have been installed
at different locations in Changthang
to benefit an estimated 300 nomadic
families.

ECONOMY

New Economy
This section includes sectors like information technology, tourism and
small and cottage industries, which have developed in the last few decades. In recent years, these sectors have grown significantly and provide viable employment opportunities in Ladakh. While this does not pose
a serious challenge, overt dependence on the outside world for critical requirements such as food is neither sustainable nor desirable. The departments under this section focus on strengthening land-based economic
activities in Ladakh.
Information Technology
36
Several innovative projects and initiatives have been taken up by the fourth hill
council to improve processes, operations and service delivery in the district through
the use of information technology. Inventive e-governance projects have been initiated across wide-ranging sectors across the district. The National Informatics Center
(NIC), Leh is responsible for developing and providing technical support for these
initiatives. The NIC has installed optical fibers (34 mbps) and two VSAT satellites
(512 kbps) to ensure seamless and uninterrupted connectivity for the implementation of these projects.
ACHIEVEMENTS
A 10 Kw solar plant has been installed
in the IT enclave building at NIC office, Leh to ensure uninterrupted
power supply and internet connectivity to all the government offices.
The Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy has approved a proposal to
install 6 similar 10 Kw solar plants
across the district through LREDA,
LAHDC, Leh.
In the Lok Sabha election 2014 and
J&K assembly election 2014, the district administration used GENSYS

NEW ECONOMY
Tourism
Tourism has emerged as one of the dominant segments of the current Ladakhi
economy. It provides jobs to thousands of people and one of the biggest sources of
income for locals after the government sector. However, this sector also faces many
challenges. One important challenge is that of infrastructure for tourism, which
needs to be developed. In this regard, new roads, appropriate facilities and a training facility need to be developed in Ladakh. A second important challenge is that of
regulation of tourism to minimise its negative impacts and redistribution of benefits
to address the unequal distribution of benefits.
The two departments in this section are the Leh Development Authority (LDA) and
Tourism Department. They are primarily responsible for promoting, managing and
developing tourism in the district.
39
The Leh Development Authority (LDA), Leh was created in 2005-06 and is responsible
for creating tourism infrastructure and developing existing tourist destinations to attract
more tourists to improve the economic condition of the residents of the district.
ACHIEVEMENTS
LDA, Leh established a Food Craft Institute at Taksithang in Leh equipped
with laboratory and kitchen. Its a pioneering institute in Ladakh meant to
train local youth in tourism-related
activities with a focus on promoting
different culinary arts, especially local
Ladakhi cuisine.
In 2014, LDA, Leh constructed the rural art and craft-cum-museum centre
at Kyagar-Sumoor in Nubra.
Through the efforts of DC, Leh, Saugat Biswas, a world-class and fully
digitalized Tourist Information Centre
(TIC) was set up by LDA in 2015. The
TIC offers a single-window service for
providing information about places
and services of interest to tourists
and also for various activities like issuing Protected Area Permit to foreign nationals.
