By himalayanreview

Gangtok: Chief Minister, Dr. Pawan Chamling, along with a team went on a recce in the capital on Monday presumable to check on the spot the progress of various development work now under way.
About two hour tour on foot started around 2 pm from Tourism Department in MG Marg. The team accompanying CM included Minister for UD&HD, Mr. D.D.Bhutia, Minister for Transport, Mr. Menlom Lepcha, Minister for Sports and Youth Affair, Mr. P.S.Tamang, Gangtok MLA, Mr. N.K.Pradhan, Chief Secretary, Mr. N. D. Chingappa, District Collector (East), Mr. Bishal Chauhan and senior engineers and officers of UD&HD, Power, Public Health, Public Works and Finance departments, among others.
From MG Marg, CM walked towards Tibet Road. At the crossing of Tibet Road and Kazi Road, he told the PWD Chief Engineer Mr. C. Zangpo to make a plan for construction of a flyover at the crossing so that vehicles can have easy access the roads leading to Secretariat and other important offices.
CM then visited Hurhurey Dara aka “lovers’ point” near Assembly building. There he paused for a few minutes and shared some jokes with his team members. He asked the UD& HD Secretary to put some dustbins and appoint two Safai karmachari to keep the Dara neat and clean. The Dara is suitable as a tourist spot so a cafeteria is needed at the location to attract tourists.Walking on NamNam Road, CM directed the Power Secretary to remove the useless electric polls at the earlist for a face lift of the place. On way to Star Cinema Hall, some 30 odd people, tenants of the Hall, met CM and requested for restoration of their electric line which was cut off due to non-payment. Having heard their grievance, CM directed the Power Secretary to restore the line waiving surcharges in the bills. He told the tenants that the Hall is going to be purchased by the government to set up car parking, open theatre hall and shopping mall. He assured the people that they would be resettled in other places.

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

By himalayanreview
This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...

The legend of April "73" Agitation in Sikkim

By himalayanreview
I was not born when Sikkim got merged with the mighty Indian Union, but being a student of Sikkim History, all that is available to me is a rack of books by different authors and those old folks who had been part of that historical “April ‘73’ Agitation”.  When I go through the history of Sikkim, April ‘73 Agitation holds an important role, mostly as the turning point of the Independent Sikkim and the Sikkim State. The mass demonstrations against the Chogyal rule shocked the 300-year-old monarchy system and ushered in democratic rule in Sikkim.  The agitation was a result “due to big 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...

CBSE: ARUNACHAL PRADESH AND SIKKIM, PUSHED GUWAHATI TO FLOOR

By himalayanreview
Guwahati, June 1: When students in Delhi were flashing their 90 per cents and doing their high-fives, the Central Board of Secondary Education was looking for reasons for the below-par performance of students in the Guwahati region, comprising the seven states of the Northeast and Sikkim. Among the six regions where the board conducts Standard X examinations, Guwahati region has the lowest pass percentage - a mere 56 per cent. Ajmer region registered a staggering 93.87 pass per cent, the highest. A post-result analysis by the board revealed that poor performance by government schools in two states, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, pushed Guwahati to the bottom in the list. K.K. Choudhury, the regional officer of CBSE (Guwahati), said the two states pulled down the pass percentage of the entire region. "We have four categories of schools - government schools, independent (private) schools, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas and Kendriya Vidyalayas. The pass percentage of independent schools,...
