THE SIKKIM BRANCH OF EASTERN INSTITUTE FOR INTEGRATED LEARNING IN MANAGEMENT UNIVERSITY IN MAURITIUS IS IN BIG CONTROVERSY

By himalayanreview
Special Report, Subash Gobine/B. P. Bajgain (Mauritius/Sikkim), July 31: A minister's family of Mauritius has opened a branch of the Sikkim branch of Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management University in Mauritius and they have tried to sell it as a full-blown private University, with big billboards supporting the sales pitch.
The Opposition of Mauritius is crying foul, alleging that the Sikkim branch itself has not yet started its courses. Further, the degrees granted would be recognized only in Sikkim, not in other parts or India, let alone other foreign countries. Furthermore, the Opposition is contending that the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India has not approved the setting up of a branch abroad. Now the famous 'private' University in Mauritius is under controversy.
According to the TEC regulations, there must be a period of one year between the granting of an authorisation to a university to operate and its effective opening. But the EIILM has opened six months after receiving the authorisation. Opposition says that the EIILM should have obtained the authorisation of the University Grants Commission (UGC) - the national regulating body in India - before the Eastern University - recognised only in Sikkim - opened a branch in Mauritius.
As per the source, Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management University is only a branch of Kolkata (Calcutta) based private Institute in Jorethang, South Sikkim. Because the Institute got approval in Sikkim in 2006 by 'The Eastern Institute For Integrated Learning In Management University Sikkim Act 2006' Act No. 4 of 2006 as defined by section 2F of the UGC Act passed by Sikkim Legislative Assembly whereas the institute already produced ten batches of MBA/PGDBM who have passed out of the institute till date from Eastern Institute for Integrated Learning in Management, 6, Waterloo Street, Kolkata - 700069, INDIA. This is not possible from Sikkim which got approval on 2006. So, the real institute is not based in Sikkim, it is based in Kolkata.

The late Jungkyang Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal, seated with his mother Queen Mother Denzong Lhayumkusho, daughter of Rakasha family of Tibet, and Prince Wangchuk whose late mother hails from the Samdrup Phodrang family of Tibet. Standing next to Denzong Queen Mother is the senior Rakasha Lhachamkusho, daughter of Raja Tsodrak Namgyal Taring of Sikkim, the eldest son of Chogyal Thutop Namgyal, who gave up the Sikkimese throne to his younger brother Sir Chogyal Tashi Namgyal in favour of staying in Tibet.  The Taring family of Tibet enabled into Tibetan high society by the great 13th Dalai Lama, is legitimately the unbroken elder line of the Royal Namgyal lineage of Sikkim, since Raja Tsodrak Namgyal was the Crown Prince of Sikkim, and his sons and grandsons today go by the Taring family name. Standing in the picture is also Princess Kukula, sister of the Chogyal married to the Phuenkhang family of Tibet.  Rakasha Tsetop, Rakasha Tseten, Yap Dr. Paljor, Soden Wangdi, Chimi ...

April 2,1973 and the downfall of Namgyal Dynasty in Sikkim

By himalayanreview
Today holds a special place in the history of Sikkim as it was on this day that mass agitation against the Chogyal rule took off, which led to the downfall of the monarchy rule in Sikkim.  The agitation was a result “ due to serious differences which ensued with the demand of repoll in one booth by Kazi Lhendup Dorji and Mr. Krishna Chandra Pradhan, as such the Chogyal had to face the people's agitation launched by the Joint Action Committee with the tacit blessings of the Government of India.  This people's political movement, spearheaded by Kazi Lhendup Dorji, finally resulted in Sikkim joining the mainstream as the 22nd State of India in 1975 (sikkiminfo.net)". I was going through an article, " Lesson of Democracy from Sikkim, " by Carleton Cole, that recapitulates the movement of the April 73 Agitation.   Cole writes, " In April 1973, after making allegations that a round of elections had been rigged in favor of the Bhutia, thus making ethnic Nepali...
