Sonam Wangchuk, the renowned engineer, education reformer and environmental activist from Ladakh, is currently on a hunger strike at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi in support of a student-led protest movement. 

The protest is focused on alleged irregularities in the education system, including concerns over examinations and demands for accountability from the government. Wangchuk's health has reportedly deteriorated as the fast entered its second week, prompting appeals from several political leaders and civil society groups.
