Chang La

India’s ultimate back-up for its food supply, the Chang La seed vault in Ladakh has been built to stand the test of time — and the challenge of global catastrophes.

DRDO has inaugurated the world's highest terrestrial R&D centre at 17,600 feet above mean sea level in Chang La. The centre will not just help in research and development in several areas, but will also help other labs in testing different products at high altitude.
