Ladakh Raises Retirement Age for Nambardars from 60 to 63 Years
The Lieutenant Governor of Ladakh has raised the maximum age limit for Nambardars, or village heads, from 60 to 63 years while maintaining their five-year term. This change, requested by the All Ladakh Goba Association, aims to retain experienced leaders who continue to serve effectively and enjoy public support. The decision seeks to preserve traditional knowledge, ensure continuity in local governance, and address challenges in replacing Nambardars in Ladakh's remote and difficult terrain.
