Does Sonam Wangchuk smoke: Not Known.Does Sonam Wangchuk drink alcohol: Not Known.Sonam Wangchuk was born in a tiny village of 5 households. Because of the lack of schools in the vicinity, his mother taught him all the basics in mother tongue until the age of 8.Wangchuk then got admission in a school, which was a few kilometers away from his home. However, he could only spend a few months there as the language to which the teachers and students resorted wasnt known to him.In 1977, Wangchuk left for Delhi, where he got admission in Vishesh Kendriya Vidyalya, a free residential government-run school for children from the border areas.Although his father wanted him to become a Civil Engineer, Wangchuk opted for Mechanical Engineering. Infuriated by Wangchuks decision, his father refused to pay the fee for the course. Wangchuk then gave tuition to 10th standard students in order to finance his engineering course at NIT Srinagar.In 1988, Wangchuk laid the foundation of the Students Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh (SECMOL). SECMOL strives to rebuild the lost pride and self-confidence of the students of Ladakh through its educational reforms program. He is also known for designing the SECMOL campus that runs completely on solar energy and uses no fossil fuels for cooking, lighting or heating, even in Ladakhi winters when temperatures fall to 25 C degrees.In 1994, Wangchuk played an important role in the launch of Operation- New Hope, a triangular collaboration of government, village communities and the civil society to bring reforms in the government schools system. This movement led to raising the all important 10th-grade exam results in the region from 5% success to eventually 75%.In 2005, he was appointed as a member of the National Governing Council for Elementary Education in the Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India.It is believed that Aamir Khans Phunsuk Wangdu character in the 2009 blockbuster movie- 3 Idiots was inspired by him.
