The two best practices implemented at Ledo College are (i) Plastic free campus (2) protector and Promoter of local ethnic culture.
- Plastic free campus: Ledo College never allows plastic within the campus as use of plastic is not only dangerous for health but also for environment.

No person is allowed to use plastic within the campus. If any outsider brings plastic water bottle or packets at any program he or she is let to know about the plastic free campus and requested not to use it and college provides alternate elements to the guest to fulfill his or her demands. E.g., instead of allowing the person to use plastic Water bottle, (s)he is provided with water in another container.

It is famous for Ledo- Stilwell Road connecting Myanmar and China. Ledo is also considered as ‘Mini India’ as people from different parts of India came and live here. The most importantly, Ledo is famous for its cultural diversity. Many local ethnic groups such as Tai-Phake, Tai- Khamyang, Tai-Khamti, Singpho etc live in nearby areas of Ledo. Some of their language, culture are on the verge of extinction or vulnerable.Though they have own Rich culture, language, tradition etc., yet they couldn’t keep it safe because of globalisation and colonization. Having been known to this condition, Ledo College has decided to protect these ethnic groups as much as possible.
