Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Kargil (LAHDC)

The Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council, Kargil (LAHDC) is an Autonomous Hill Council that administers the Kargil District of Jammu and Kashmir, India.

Background History

The council was created under the Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council Act 1995, following demands of Ladakhi people to make Ladakh an autonomous region because of its religious and cultural differences with the rest of Jammu and Kashmir. In October 1993, the Indian Union Government and the Jammu and Kashmir State Government agreed to grant Ladakh the status of Autonomous Hill Council. The council came into being with the holding of elections on August 28, 1995 in Leh district of Ladakh. The hill council was first introduced in Kargil district in July 2003, which was meant to strengthen participatory forms of development, governance and democratic state-building in the war-ravaged district.

The council is composed of 30 Councillors of which 26 are directly elected and 4 are nominated members.[3]
