A quiet salute to the energy engineers making it happen behind the scenes.
@lg_ladakh @ashishkundra such work truly deserves appreciation.

High in the cold, remote desert of Hanle, the Indian Astronomical Observatory quietly runs entirely on solar power.
This silent effort meaningfully contributes to the mission of #CarbonNeutralLadakh.

Our all-sky camera at #Hanle #Ladakh once again saw aurorae on 19th and 20th night, caused by an intense geomagnetic storm due to a CME. We also have the @kodaiastronomy images from 18 Jan!

Message From Ladakh on this International Snow Leopard Day !

As a Ladakhi, I want to highlight that Ladakh alone is home to more than 50% of India’s snow leopard population. However, certain ground realities are posing silent threats to their survival.

In recent years, many villagers in Ladakh have stopped rearing traditional livestock like sheep and goats , which earlier formed a major part of snow leopards’ fallback prey, especially for aging individuals who struggle to hunt wild ibex or bharal. When these domestic animals are absent, snow leopards are often seen as mere threats rather than as an endangered species with ecological and tourism value. Very few communities recognize the potential of sustainable snow leopard tourism.

I humbly urge concerned authorities to implement the following measures on ground:
1.Awareness campaigns for local communities on the ecological importance and conservation value of snow leopards.
2.Encouragement and support for villagers to revive traditional livestock rearing (sheep/goats), with protection measures.
3.Creation of livelihood channels for villagers through community-led snow leopard spotting/tourism initiatives.
4.Student exposure programs ,as most Ladakhi students have never seen a snow leopard in real life ,to foster pride, knowledge, and ownership.

Ladakh can become a global model for coexistence and conservation , but action must begin at the grassroots.
It’s just a feedback & suggestion as a lover of Wild Animal from Ladakh .

I AM BEING DETAINED...
along with 150 padyatris
at Delhi Border, by a police force of 100s some say 1,000.
Many elderly men & women in their 80s and few dozen Army veterans...
Our fate is unknown.
We were on a most peaceful march to Bapu’s Samadhi... in the largest democracy in the world, the mother of democracy...
Hai Ram!
