Vice President Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan today visited the first rock check dam on the Sindhu River at Upshi, Ladakh, constructed under the Sindhu Jal Samriddhi Abhiyan. He appreciated the eco-friendly and cost-effective initiative, conceptualised and inaugurated last month by the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Shri Vinay Kumar Saxena, as an innovative solution to Ladakh’s recurring water challenges.
The pioneering project augments water levels in shallow stretches of the Sindhu River, enabling farmers to irrigate their fields during the crucial sowing season. The Vice-President noted that such sustainable and locally adapted interventions can significantly strengthen water security, support agricultural livelihoods, and contribute to the long-term development of the region.
It was a pleasure to visit the Pashmina Goat Farm at Upshi and witness firsthand the remarkable efforts being undertaken to preserve and promote the unique Pashmina heritage of Ladakh.
The Changthangi goats and the world-renowned Pashmina they produce stand as symbols of the ingenuity and rich cultural traditions of the people of this region. The farm’s contribution towards sustainable livestock management and the socio-economic empowerment of local communities, particularly women engaged in Pashmina production and allied activities, is truly commendable.
I appreciate the dedication of the scientists, staff, and local stakeholders associated with this institution. Their collective efforts are helping strengthen rural livelihoods, create opportunities for women’s economic participation, and preserve an invaluable national asset for future generations.
Vice President Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan today visited the sacred Sindhu Ghat near Leh on the second day of his visit to Ladakh and offered prayers on the banks of the revered River Sindhu.
The Sindhu River, a timeless symbol of Bharat’s civilizational heritage and cultural unity, continues to inspire generations with its enduring legacy.

I also visited the galleries depicting operations during the Indo-Pak and Indo-China Wars in Hall of Fame, Leh which stand as a testament to the courage, dedication and sacrifices of the brave personnel of our Armed Forces.
Visited the Hall of Fame War Memorial in Leh, Ladakh, today and paid homage to the brave soldiers of the Indian Armed Forces.
The unwavering commitment of our armed forces to the Motherland, embodying the spirit of ‘Nation First: Always and Every Time’, instils in every visitor a profound sense of patriotism and gratitude.
I deeply appreciate the Indian Army for establishing and maintaining this memorial, which preserves the inspiring legacy, courage and sacrifices of our heroes and serves as a source of inspiration for present and future generations.
