Ladakh LG Vinay Saxena releases 100-day report card,

Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Vinay Kumar Saxena on Sunday released a report card covering the first 100 days of his tenure. He stated that during the past 100 days, his administration focused on development, water security, environmental conservation, tourism, governance reforms, and employment generation. The report also explains how conditions have changed during this period. Vinay Saxena assumed office as the Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh on March 13. Since then, he has worked on these initiatives.

The report has been titled “Building a Shared Vision for Ladakh.” It outlines the six key areas on which the administration has placed the greatest emphasis. These six areas are long-term water security, environmental sustainability, cultural and tourism revival, social justice and security, employment and the economy, and sustainable infrastructure.

Under VK Saxena’s leadership, the administration’s primary objective has been to address Ladakh’s water crisis through projects such as the Him Sarovar Project and the Sindhu Jal Samriddhi Abhiyan. Under the first phase of the Him Sarovar Project, 50 community water bodies are being developed to collect snowmelt and rainwater, while India’s first Himalayan rock check dam has been constructed on the Indus River to improve irrigation and ensure long-term water availability. The administration has also revived the 43-kilometer-long Igoo-Phey irrigation canal, benefiting approximately 4,500 hectares of agricultural land.

The report claims that more than 35,000 trees were planted during the first 100 days. It also highlights the launch of the Indus River Green Corridor initiative. Degraded forest areas were restored, high-altitude experimental plantations were established, and strict measures were taken against single-use plastics and ecological violations. The report also highlights efforts to promote tourism and preserve Ladakh’s cultural heritage. These include an exhibition of the sacred relics of Lord Buddha, which attracted more than 118,000 visitors. It also mentions the establishment of India’s first Petroglyph Conservation Park, the annual Ladakh Bike Week, high-altitude flower fields, and improvements aimed at strengthening tourism infrastructure. According to the report, tourist arrivals between January and May 2026 increased by 43.65 percent compared to the same period last year.
