Ladakh admn committed to resolving student’s concerns, says L-G Gupta
Encourages students to think beyond conventional career paths
The Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh, Kavinder Gupta, on Sunday said that the Union Territory administration is fully committed to addressing the concerns of students with sensitivity and priority.
“Ladakh Administration remains fully committed to listening to students’ concerns and resolving them with sensitivity and priority. Student welfare remains central to governance,” the Lt Governor said.
He was addressing the 27th Annual Day function of the All Ladakh Students Welfare Association in Jammu.
Speaking to a gathering of youth from Leh and Kargil districts studying in Jammu, Gupta said the Association is not merely an organisation but a reflection of the determination, discipline and aspirations of Ladakhi youth striving for a brighter future. He appreciated the Association’s role since 2015 in providing academic guidance, fostering cultural unity and effectively representing students’ concerns before the administration.
Emphasising that student life forms the foundation of nation-building, the Lt Governor said it is a phase that shapes character, instils discipline and nurtures a sense of responsibility towards society and the nation. He observed that life’s challenges strengthen resolve and impart invaluable lessons, enabling young people to emerge stronger and more committed to national service. Highlighting the transformative power of organised youth, Gupta remarked that when young minds unite with a shared purpose, they can influence the direction of society.
The Lt Governor further said that today’s India offers immense opportunities. In the era of technology and artificial intelligence, he reassured students that technological advancement does not eliminate opportunities but expands them. He urged the youth to continuously learn, innovate and adapt, noting that human creativity, leadership and sensitivity cannot be replaced by machines.
Encouraging students to think beyond conventional career paths, Gupta called upon them to explore start-ups, self-employment and skill-based avenues. He said the youth of today must aspire to become job creators rather than merely job seekers.
