Sindhu Central University, University Of Ladakh will function synergistically: Central govt to Parliament

Sindhu Central University in Ladakh and the University of Ladakh would function synergistically, complementing each other, the central government informs Parliament.

On Monday, the central government informed Parliament that the proposed Sindhu Central University in Ladakh and the University of Ladakh will function synergistically, complementing each other. In a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Education Subhas Sarkar said the central university would mostly have different subjects than the ones being offered by the state university (University of Ladakh).

The University of Ladakh is running 22 courses for the benefit of the students of Ladakh from two campuses.

The University of Ladakh was established in 2019. It has two campuses -- one at Leh and the other at Kargil -- consisting of a few academic blocks, an administrative office and a small hostel facility on both campuses, besides six constituent colleges, the minister said.

The total number of students at the university is 549, including those enrolled in the current academic session.
