Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh

Their activities include working to reform the government school system, helping village students in their education, awakening youth to the problems stemming from inappropriate and insensitive schooling, producing related videos and radio programmes, and designing and building solar-heated eco-friendly buildings.

[1][2] SECMOL Campus is located near the village of Phey in the Indus valley 18 km from Leh.

Built using simple, low-cost traditional techniques, the campus now comprises three residential houses, 20 small "cell rooms" and a large school building, all solar heated.

Part of SECMOL's work is to develop techniques that use alternative energy sources.

Ladakh has over 300 sunny days per year and the sun is therefore a reliable source of energy and an alternative to fossil fuels.
