Ladakh Declared India's First Fully Organic Union Territory by LG Saxena
Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena declared Ladakh as India's first fully organic Union Territory following a ban on chemical and synthetic fertilisers in July. The administration had earlier distributed organic fertilisers to farmers to support the transition. Saxena highlighted the commitment to protecting Ladakh's fragile Himalayan ecosystem, preserving traditional farming, and improving farmers' livelihoods through better market access and value addition. The organic shift aims to enhance the value of local produce like apricots and barley while promoting sustainable agriculture.
