Sonam Wangchuk
Known as the real-life inspiration behind the lead character in the hit 2009 Bollywood film 3 Idiots, Sonam Wangchuk has dedicated his life to education reform and environmental preservation in the trans-Himalayan region.
Education Reform: He is the founding-director of the Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL), a famous campus run entirely on solar energy that provides alternative, hands-on education for students who struggled in the traditional schooling system.
Environmental Innovations: Wangchuk invented the "Ice Stupa" technique, an artificial glacier used to store winter water for farmers in Ladakh's high-altitude desert to combat water scarcity. He has also designed eco-friendly, zero-fuel solar tents for the Indian Army stationed in sub-zero Himalayan regions.
Current Activism: Sonam Wangchuk has recently become a pivotal figure in the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) youth movement. He joined the protests at Jantar Mantar and undertook an indefinite hunger strike to demand the resignation of key figures over the NEET examination paper leaks. Despite a severe deterioration in his health, losing over 8.2 kg, his resilience has drawn national attention to the plight of the educated, unemployed youth in India.
