Prime Minister Narendra Modi is in Jammu and Kashmir today to inaugurate several developmental projects in a major push for education and healthcare in the state. PM Modi will be visiting Jammu, Srinagar and Leh today. He will also make a stop at the Dal Lake.
In one of his previous visits to Jammu and Kashmir, PM Modi had said he has a vision of the state where there will be "books instead of guns in the hands of the young boys and girls". PM Modi launched the University of Ladakh, the first ever in the region. "It will be a cluster University comprising of degree colleges of Leh, Kargil, Nubra, Zanskar, Drass and Khaltsi. The university will have administrative offices at Leh and Kargil," the prime minister's office said in a statement.
