Youth fellowship brings inAdditional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) Kargil, Imteeaz Kacho, attended the concluding ceremony of the seven-day induction programme for the second batch of the rISE Educator Fellowship, organised by rZamba Trust in Sankoo on May 27.

The induction programme served as an intensive orientation for the newly selected fellows, preparing them for their upcoming two-year placements in ten government schools across Kargil district. The sessions focused on classroom observation, student assessment, project-based learning, and community engagement—equipping the fellows with essential tools to support quality education in remote regions.

ADC Kacho lauded rZamba Trust for its consistent and commendable work in the education sector. Reflecting on the organisation’s growth, he encouraged the fellows to become agents of change and underlined the importance of such grassroots initiatives in enhancing the educational landscape of Ladakh.

During the visit, the ADC participated in an informal, interactive session with the fellows. In a candid exchange, the fellows shared personal experiences and insights from their journey with rZamba. They also briefed him on the innovative teaching methodologies being implemented—particularly Project-Based Learning—and how these efforts align with the goals of the National Education Policy (NEP).

The rISE (rZamba’s Initiative for Sustainable Education) Educator Fellowship is the Trust’s flagship programme. This two-year initiative places dedicated youth in schools and communities to address learning gaps and foster sustainable educational practices. With the induction of its second batch, the programme is expanding its impact and strengthening its reach across the district.

Also present on the occasion were Stanzin Saldon (CEO, rZamba), Ghulam Murtaza (Programme Lead), Hakima Banoo (Pedagogy Lead), Rifat Amin Lone (SEL Lead), and Syed Murtaza Agha (Co-founder, rZamba).
