Leh, May 09, 2026: The Department of Sociology and the Department of Economics, Eliezer Joldan Memorial (EJM) College Leh, jointly organised a three-day Field Work cum Exposure Tour to Sankoo, Kargil, which concluded successfully.
The programme was formally flagged off from the college campus on April 07 under the guidance and patronage of the Principal of EJM College, Prof. Stanzin Yangdol.
Students of 4th and 6th semesters from the major streams participated in the educational tour aimed at providing practical exposure and experiential learning opportunities.
The field visit was organised with the objective of enabling students to relate theoretical concepts with the prevailing socio-economic realities of rural communities, particularly focusing on the role of women in Sankoo village of Kargil district.
During the tour, students interacted with members of the local community and gained valuable insights into the socio-economic conditions, livelihood patterns, and contribution of women in the village economy. The exercise also enhanced students’ understanding of field-based research methodologies, data collection techniques, community engagement, and interdisciplinary perspectives within the social sciences.
As part of the academic exposure programme, faculty members and students also visited Government Degree College Kargil, where they held interactions with faculty members and students, facilitating academic exchange and institutional exposure. The tour further included visits to historically significant sites in Kargil district.
