About

The Islamia School, Kargil is the oldest body of religious leaders, mainly Ághas and Shiekhs, to be established in the region. The population of the region is mainly Shia Muslim[2] therefore a need for an institution to look over and into the religious matters of the masses was felt and Islamia School was established. Elections for the executive body were held on 5 May 2016 and Shiekh Nazir ul Mehdi Mohammadi was elected as the new president.[3]
