Liddervat is like a base camp. This is where a huge community of the nomadic shepherds camp before they progress towards the Alpine pastures at Kolai glacier or Tarsar Lake...This year, untimely rains and snow played havoc with their migration schedules and they suffered huge losses in their flocks.

Besides primary school level classes, our school also aims at involving the women of the community to revive a special weave that has now become an almost forgotten art form. The classroom will be used by the ladies in the afternoons for this purpose.

This school will shift to Tarsar Lake once the snow melts there and then to Village Pingagala, Distt Rajouri in the winter months, only to be back here in the summer months.
