Ladakh‘s Raj Niwas, the official residence and office of the Lieutenant Governor, has been renamed ‘Lok Niwas’.
“A historic moment for Ladakh. Today (November 30, 2025), Raj Niwas has been officially renamed as Lok Niwas, symbolising our deep commitment to people-centric governance and inclusive development,” Office of the Lt. Governor posted on X (formerly Twitter).
The post was accompanied by a photograph of Lt. Governor Kavinder Gupta standing beside the newly installed nameplate bearing the changed name at the main entrance.
Officials said the renaming reflects the administration’s resolve to strengthen direct engagement with citizens and make governance more accessible. The new name, Lok Niwas, underscores Lt. Governor Gupta’s focus on transparency, accountability, and inclusive development across Ladakh, aligning the institution more closely with public aspirations, they said.
