C.Phuntsog, Vice Chancellor, Ladakh University said that there is no problem in making the Ladakh University functional if Kashmir University will hand over both the satellite campuses at Leh and Kargil districts to Cluster Universities of Leh and Kargil at the earliest but there is still uncertainty in this regard.

C.

C. Phuntsog talking about the identification of land for the Leh Campus said that 500 kanals have been demanded by the Higher Education Department and we need at least 400 kanals for a good University Campus to be laid. 

"PWD has prepared the site plan for the Administrative Block/Central Blocks (constituting about 190 kanals) on the backside of EJM College Leh", V C Phuntsog added. 

He assured that Cluster University Leh will be made functional in 2020 with at least one PG Course and one Integrated course and requested Hill Council, Leh to suggest relevant and employability courses for Leh.
