Ladakh's New Job Policies: Explained

Ladakh's New Job Policies: Explained

Imagine Ladakh as a special place, and the government made new rules to help the people who live there.

These rules are about jobs and who can get them.

Now, people from Ladakh get a big chunk of government jobs, about 85%.

To get these jobs, you usually have to have lived there for at least 15 years.

The government also decided which languages people will use.

Some people were worried about outsiders taking over, so these new rules are meant to protect the local people and make sure they have a fair chance.
