Jamiat-ul-Ulama Isna Asharia, Kargil-Ladakh is a socio-religious institution of Kargil, Ladakh in Indian Administered Kashmir catering mainly to the socio-religious needs of the region.
It was founded in 1953, and has jurisdiction over Ulemas of the region and deputes them to villages where they guide people in religious matters, run Madrasas and works as prayer monitors.
Jamiat ul Ulama Isna Asharia Kargil-Ladakh is the largest Islamic organization of Ladakh and oldest body of religious leaders, mainly Ághas and Sheikhs, to be established in the region.
The population of the region is mainly Shia Muslim[2] therefore a need for an institution to look over and into the religious matters of the masses was felt and Jamiat-ul-Ulama Isna Asharia Kargil-Ladakh was established.
Elections for the executive body were held on 11 September 2021 and Hojjatul Islam Sheikh Nazir Mehdi Mohammadi was re-elected as the president for the second time.
