Navy Chief Admiral R. Hari Kumar hosted a major outreach programme ‘Julley Ladakh’ (Hello Ladakh) in Leh over two days, July 6 and 7, which the Navy said was aimed to “enhance greater participation of the youth from Ladakh in the defence services, strengthen nation-building and promote maritime consciousness in the region.” Last year, the Navy had carried out extensive engagement and outreach in the northeast which attracted a very positive response and participation.
“In continuation with the pursuance of the vision of national leadership towards developing remote areas, the Indian Navy has embarked on a multidimensional outreach program dedicated to strengthening the connect with the Union Territory of Ladakh,” the Navy said in a statement.
