Karzok, Ladakh UT: The “Let’s Spread Warmth at Puga” initiative, led by the Headlight Foundation in partnership with Giesecke & Devrient MS India Pvt Ltd. (G&D), was successfully inaugurated today at Govt. Nomadic Residential High School, Puga. This milestone project aims to tackle the educational and infrastructural challenges faced by children in Ladakh’s high-altitude, remote regions.

The event was graced by Chief Guest Mr. Tsering Angchuk, Hon’ble Deputy Chairman, Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Leh, along with Mr. Karma Namdak, Councillor, Karzok, both emphasizing the importance of empowering Ladakh’s future generations.

At the heart of this initiative is the installation of high-efficiency heating systems in classrooms, providing a warm and safe learning environment for over 100 students who previously endured sub-zero temperatures in pursuit of education. The newly introduced systems offer much-needed relief, allowing students to focus on their academic growth without disruption.

Rajendra Prasad, Co-Founder of the Headlight Foundation & Royal Bikers, shared, “Today’s achievement reflects the dedication of everyone who believed in this mission. By ensuring warmth and comfort, we are giving the children of Puga a true opportunity to thrive.”

Manish Bhaskar, Co-Founder of Headlight Foundation & Royal Bikers, added, “Our love for Ladakh extends beyond its landscapes—it’s about its people, its communities, and its future. Projects like this are our way of giving back.”

This initiative is supported by Giesecke & Devrient MS India Pvt Ltd. under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, reaffirming its commitment to fostering sustainable development in underserved communities through education and infrastructure.

The Headlight Foundation traces its roots to Royal Bikers, a passionate motorcycle community whose journeys through Ladakh inspired a mission of giving back. Over the years, they have blended their love for adventure with a sense of purpose, driving transformative initiatives like this.

The inauguration featured heartfelt speeches from dignitaries and vibrant cultural performances by students, symbolizing the warmth and joy this project brings to their lives.
