Sir,
This has reference to the article ‘Modi’s 3P Prescription’ DE Aug 19.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s prescription to allay the sufferings of Ladakhis is in tune with the realities existing on the grounds.
The 3Ps : Prakash, Paryavaran and Paryatan (Electricity, Environment and Tourism) if implemented sincerly will go a long way in redressing the grievances of this remote region.
If electricity is made available round the clock, it will change the socio-economic complexion of the region. There is great scope for setting up small industrial units especially agro-based in the region in which a large number of unemployed youth can be absorbed.
Tourism is already a big component of Ladakh’s economy. Most of the Ladakhis, particularly in Leh district are associated with tourism business. Those associated with it should be given loans at low rate of interest, and other concessions so that they can take their business to international levels. This will help in promoting business in the region.
However, it should be ensured that the inflow of tourists may not disturb the ecology of the region as it is quite fragile and can’t withstand any pulls and pressures.
Yours etc…
