    The Leh Palace in Ladakh, India faces problems of poor living conditions, loss of cultural identity, and tensions between communities. A conservation project rehabilitated lanes with paving and drainage, generated income through vocational training and women's construction work, and documented historic buildings. Specific structures like Sofi House and Jampa Temple were reconstructed, repaired, and restored through roofing, plastering, painting, and drainage works. The project created community spaces and reduced tensions by motivating cooperative living improvements.
