Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will visit Ladakh today to inaugurate a Vigyan Mela, showcasing crops and grains suitable for growing in high altitude areas.

The science fair is being organised at the Defence Institute of High Altitude Research. A senior Defence Ministry official said the event is being organised to share research-generated farming technology with locals of Ladakh to make their life easier. The fair will showcase agricultural products developed by the Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO).
