AHLC Project Final Report.Pdf OAD Projects Final Report – 2018 Projects are requested to complete this online form instead of submitting a PDF report. The form allows us to standardize data collection as well as obtain very specific information. We will use this data to derive the impact of projects, which is important to show OAD's funding agencies. Read our guidelines at: http://www.astro4dev.org/funded-projects/report-guidelines/ If a question is not applicable, please fill in 'NA'. Email address *: [email protected] 1. Your Name *: Sonal Asgotraa 2. Project title *: Astronomy for Himalayan Livelihood Creation 3. Project abbreviation *: AHLC 4a. Location of project activities *: Union Territory of Ladakh, India 4b. Location of project activities * In addition to the country and city, please provide some background on the specific location of the intervention to help us understand why you chose that location. Example, a remote area with socio- economic challenges, area with indigenous populations, urban area with high economic inequalites etc. Region Overview: Ladakh Ladakh ("land of high passes") is a region of north India in the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), which currently extends from the KuenLun mountain range to the great Himalayas in the south, inhabited by people of both Indo-Aryan and Tibetan descent. It is one of the most sparsely populated regions in Jammu and Kashmir, with its culture and histories are closely related to that of the Tibet region. Ladakh is located at an altitude ranging between 2900m and 5900m. This makes it one of the most elevated and coldest inhabited regions of the world. The winter temperatures drop to as low as -300C., with most areas becoming inaccessible due to heavy snowfall. The region itself cannot be accessed from October to May as the two main highways connecting the region with the rest of the country get blocked due to heavy snow. The only way to access the region is then by air transport. It is a mountainous region with most villages inhabited along Shayok, Siachen, Zanskar and Indus rivers, which flow between (3) three parallel ranges of the Western Himalayas- Zanskar, Ladakh, and the Karakorum ranges. The Ladakh district is mainly divided into – 3 subdivisions (Khaltse, Nyoma, Nubra) – 3 Tehsils (Leh, Khaltse, Sumur) – 9 Blocks (Leh, Chhuchot,Kharu, Diskit, Panamic, Durbuk, Nyoma, Khaltse, and Saspol) Most Ladakhis are Tibetan in origin, and majority of them are Buddhists. A small population comprises of Muslims and a fraction of population comprises of Christians and Hindus. Barley and wheat are the traditional crops. The region is known for its Pashmina goats, the wool from which is used to make woolen clothes for export purpose. The main occupation and livelihood of the people are: tourism, handicrafts, agriculture, and government jobs. The region has a round 150 remote villages that do not have access to electricity. These villages lay at an average trek distance of 4-5 days from the nearest motorable roads. Due to the inhospitable terrain, the development of these villages has thus been very limited. 5. Project team * for each member, please include name, educational qualification, current profession, role in team Paras Loomba (Delhi/Leh): Founder / CEO Paras is the founder of GHE and looks after the business implementation and technology development. Having a strong background in Electronics, he works on creating innovative technological solutions that are being implemented by GHE.

Summary of final report (for website) * You have already submitted a Summary in the proposal. Here we request a Summary of what happened - please include objectives, activities, results and outcomes. More details will be requested in the sections below. Global Himalayan Expedition (GHE) is an organization based in Ladakh, India providing clean energy and education access to remote off-grid communities in Himalayas. Electricity has acted as a powerful tool to stimulate economic empowerment and create new streams of revenue generation for this region. With a vision to leverage astronomy as a key development intervention in Ladakh, GHE’s new initiative - Astronomy for Himalayan Livelihood Creation (AHLC) with support from International Astronomical Union – Office of Astronomy for development (IAU-OAD) aims to stimulate economic growth for these remote villages in a sustainable and scalable manner by creating Astro-homestays. In Phase-1 of AHLC, 30 women from 15 different villages of Ladakh were selected for an astronomy workshop in June this year and trained on basics of astronomy and know-how of operating Dobsonian telescopes. Ladakh’s first Astro-homestay has been setup near Pangong lake in the village of Maan where a team of 5 trained community members use their astronomy skills to conduct night sky watching sessions for the incoming tourists. The telescope facility has attracted a lot of tourists in the region and created a new economic opportunity for the community. Till date over 680 people have visited the facility in the last three months since the installation, earning more than USD 1410 for the local community. Astrostay Board for promotion of the Homestays for Tourists in Ladakh at 14000 ft A second telescope has been installed in the city of Leh and hosted by PAGIR – an organization working with specially-abled people of Ladakh for their capacity building and inclusion into mainstream. GHE has partnered with PAGIR to promote inclusive Astro-tourism – PAGIR’s 5 member team trained on astronomy and telescope operations are now conducting night viewing sessions for the tourists creating a new channel of revenue generation for the organization.

    0 1 DISTRICT PROFILE Although, Leh district is one of the largest districts of the country in terms of area, it has the lowest population density across the entire country. The district borders Pakistan occupied Kashmir and Chinese occupied Ladakh in the North and Northwest respectively, Tibet in the east and Lahoul-Spiti area of Himachal Pradesh in the South. The district of Leh forms the Northern tip of the Indian Sub Continent. According to the Geographical experts, the district has several other features, which make it unique when compared with other parts of the Indian sub-continent. The district is the coldest and most elevated inhabited region in the country with altitude ranging from 2300 meters to 5000 meters. As a result of its high altitude locations, annual rainfall is extremely low. This low status of precipitation has resulted in scanty vegetation, low organic content in the soil and loose structure in the cold desert. But large-scale plantation has been going in the district since 1955 and this state of affairs is likely to change. The ancient inhabitants of Ladakh were Dards, an Indo- Aryan race. Immigrants of Tibet, Skardo and nearby parts like Purang, Guge settled in Ladakh, whose racial characters and cultures were in consonance with early settlers. Buddhism traveled from central India to Tibet via Ladakh leaving its imprint in Ladakh. Islamic missionaries also made a peaceful penetration of Islam in the early 16 th century. German Moravian Missionaries having cognizance of East India Company also made inroads towards conversion but with little success. In the 10 th century AD, Skit Lde Nemagon, the ruler of Tibet, invaded Ladakh where there was no central authority.

One third of the lake is in India while the remaining two thirds lies in Tibet, which is controlled by China. Majority of the streams which fill the lake are located on the Tibetan side. Pangong Tso is about five hours drive from Leh in Ladakh region of Jammu & Kashmir. The route passes through beautiful Ladakh countryside, over Chang La, the third highest motorable mountain pass (5289 m) in the world. The first glimpse of the serene, bright blue waters and rocky lakeshore remains etched in the memory of tourists. There is a narrow ramp- like formation of land running into the lake which is also a favorite with tourists. During winter the lake freezes completely, despite being saline water. The salt water lake does not support vegetation or aquatic life except for some small crustaceans. However, there are lots of water birds. The lake acts as an important breeding ground for a large variety of migratory birds like Brahmani Ducks, are black necked cranes and Seagulls. One can also spot Ladakhi Marmots, the rodent-like creatures which can grow up to the size of a small dog.
