Women empowerment, jobs and progress on Ladakh's tableau

Ladakh's tableau in the 75th Republic Day parade on Friday symbolised the Union territory's journey of progress with an emphasis on women empowerment.

The tractor part of the tableau featured girls playing ice hockey in the snow, illustrating the journey of women empowerment in the Union territory. The Indian Women's Ice Hockey Team is made up entirely of Ladakhi players.

The float showed Ladakh's fervent pursuit of rapid development since attaining Union territory status in February 2019.

It depicted a village in the front, highlighting how Ladakh is trying to improve life by providing people with electricity, good education and sustainable resources.
