Ladakh is first UT to become 100 per cent Organic. In a post on social handle X, LG Ladakh, V K saxena said, “A proud moment for Ladakh as it becomes India’s first 100% Organic Union Territory, thanks to the dedication and hard work of our farmers. This milestone reflects our commitment to fulfilling Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji’s vision of chemical-free farming, environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods. Our strict prohibition on chemical fertilisers and continued efforts towards organic certification will protect Ladakh’s fragile Himalayan ecosystem, improve soil and water health, and enhance the value of local produce. This would further strengthen market linkages, improve farmers’ incomes and establish Ladakh as a model for sustainable high-altitude agriculture. My congratulations to all farmers and stakeholders on this historic achievement!”
