He said Ladakh Vision 2050 is a broader plan to stay updated with the changing times and requirements of the people of the region. The Lt Governor said the vision would help UT Ladakh take the best approach to get feasible solutions in all the sectors.
Vision 2050 is subject to review depending on vision and action plans of individual departments, availability of budget, administrative strength, and ability of the departments to implement it on the ground, he said.
