MyGov. Ladakh recently hosted the “Sustainable Campus Challenge, 2023”, a contest aimed at promoting campus sustainability. The contest, targeting students across various educational institutions in the region, received 42 innovative project entries focusing on diverse areas such as energy conservation, waste reduction, and water conservation.
The winning proposal, a project focused on stationery waste management, was presented by a team from Government Degree College, Kargil.
