Science, Technology, and Innovation Need Identification for Sustainable Development of Kargil

On 15 July 2026, CSIR‑NIScPR, Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (IIT Delhi), IIT Jammu and Government Degree College, Kargil organised a one‑day meet titled “Science, Technology, and Innovation Need Identification for Sustainable Development of Kargil”. Over 100 participants—including scientists, policymakers, farmers and students—discussed region‑specific STI needs. The event identified priority areas such as sustainable agriculture, protected cultivation, medicinal and aromatic plants, food‑processing, renewable energy, water management, climate‑resilient farming, rural entrepreneurship, eco‑tourism and skill development. Recommendations will feed into a roadmap for collaborative interventions involving CS IR laboratories, academic institutions, government agencies and financial bodies to enhance livelihoods in the remote Kargil region.
