The Indian Navy recently launched an outreach program called Julley Ladakh (Hello Ladakh) to increase awareness about the Navy and engage with the youth and civil society in the pristine state of Ladakh. Vice Admiral Sanjay Jasjit Singh, the Vice Chief of Naval Staff, flagged off a 5000 km Motorcycle Expedition on June 15, 2023, from the National War Memorial as part of this initiative.
Previous Outreach Efforts:
The Sam No Varunah automobile trip, which sought to engage with residents of coastal states, and the Indian Navy’s successful activities in the North East region are both references in this outreach programme.
Outreach Activities:
One of the outreach initiatives envisioned for this programme is a motorbike expedition that would travel through a sizable portion of Ladakh. A medical camp will also be held, a concert by the Navy band will take place, and a football game between the Navy and the Ladakh Football Club has also been planned.
The Julley Ladakh initiative aims to:
- Celebrate Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, which marks 75 years of Indian Independence.
- Conduct awareness campaigns in Ladakh’s institutions and schools to draw attention to the Agnipath Scheme and other career prospects provided by the Indian Navy.
- Motivate the youth to consider joining the Indian Navy.
- By integrating female officers and spouses in the programme, you can promote “Nari Shakti,” a Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi initiative.
- Interact with naval veterans and Veer Naris (war widows) in the region.
