The Ladakh Buddhist Association Youth Wing serves as the apex youth body under the Ladakh Buddhist Association (LBA) parent organization. Representing all Buddhist youth of Ladakh, it plays a pivotal role in supplementing the activities of the LBA and addressing critical issues affecting society, with a particular focus on empowering the younger generation.
The Youth Wing has established subsidiary units at outreach levels, representing clusters of villages to ensure comprehensive community engagement and coverage. By working in close collaboration with these units, the Youth Wing addresses essential challenges and opportunities faced by the youth and the broader community.
Membership in the Youth Wing is open to all Buddhist youth aged 18 to 45 years, excluding monks and nuns. This approach ensures participation from diverse young individuals who actively contribute to the community’s development and decision-making processes. The President of the Youth Wing holds a critical role as an Associate Member of both the Central Working Committee and the General Council, with the privilege of voting on behalf of the Youth in key decisions. This representation ensures the voice of the youth is integral to LBA’s governance.
It is with great humility and a deep sense of gratitude that I step into the role of the first elected President of the Ladakh Buddhist Association Youth Wing.
This is not just a position — it is a commitment to nurture, empower and lead the youth of our community toward a future rooted in values, vision and unity.
Our youth represent strength, curiosity and boundless potential. Together, we stand at a powerful intersection of tradition and transformation. While we draw wisdom from our spiritual and cultural heritage, we also embrace the challenges and opportunities of the modern world with open hearts and determined minds.
This platform is dedicated to fostering leadership, encouraging innovation and building a strong network of young individuals who are ready to take charge and make meaningful contributions to our society.
We will focus on education, cultural and heritage preservation, environmental responsibility as well as mental and physical well-being.
As your President, I am committed to ensuring that every young voice is heard and every individual is seen as a vital part of our shared journey. Through collaboration, compassion and courage, we will create a space where ideas flourish and actions inspire.
Let us move forward together — with clarity in our goals and unity in our hearts — towards building a vibrant future for Ladakh and for generations to come.
