Sonam Wangchuk, innovator who inspired Aamir’s role in 3 Idiots, wins Magsaysay

Ladakhi engineer and innovator Sonam Wangchuk was on Thursday named among the six winners of the Ramon Magsaysay Award for this year. The 51-year-old was recognised for “his uniquely systematic, collaborative and community-driven reform of learning systems in remote northern India, thus improving the life opportunities of Ladakhi youth, and his constructive engagement of all sectors in local society… setting an example for minority peoples in the world,” the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation said in its citation.
