"Sikkim Gas Plant", Nainaam Industry located at Makha, 12 Km from Singtam

 by Sanjay Agarwal

25 Dec, Rangpo: Nainaam Industry, located at Makha, 12 Km from Singtam, boasts of placing Sikkim as a milestone, one step ahead in the self-reliant state in India through its very own gas production plant in the coming days. Oxygen and Nitrogen, which are essential life-saving gasses for humans and industries, will be produced in Sikkim in January 2010. Sikkim depends on Siliguri, West Bengal, from where the gas is supplied. There is a frequent shortage of gas sometimes, sometimes due to the closure of the highway, which causes delays in arriving at the appropriate time for useful purposes. 


According to the company CEO, Mr NK Agarwal, 90% of the plant components and fittings are being completed. Within the next couple of days, 10% will be completed, thereby allowing for final commissioning for a full-fledged production plant as a major production unit. It is projected that approximately 500 barrels of Oxygen and 200 barrels of Nitrogen will be manufactured every day from this plant. 

The company CEO further stresses that they would continue to work on next level of plan where other types of gases too can be produced from the plant. The majority of supplies are meant for Hospitals and Hydel Power Projects where these gases are mostly consumed for useful works, as said.

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 ...

Early Poets of Sikkim : Subhash Deepak

During the early two decades of the twentieth century young boys belonging to rich and aristocratic families including upper caste Brahmins were sent to Darjeeling or Benares for studies. These young boys naturally got an opportunity to encounter the new trends of awakening like the National movement of Indian Independence. The influence of great literary personalities like Lekhnath Poudyal (1884-1965), Lakshmi Prasad Devkota (1909-1965) and Balkrishna Sama (1902-1981) is very much evident on the poets associated with Apatan Sahitya Parishad . This was the time when Parasmani Pradhan , Surya Bikram Gewali and their worthy associates had already had their influences on the young poets. ‘The tide of awakening had swept throughout the area like Sikkim , Darjeeling, Benares and Dehradun . During the second and third decade of 20th century Dharanidhar Koirala’s ‘ Naibedya ’ (1920), Mahananda Sapkota’s ‘ Mana Lahari ’ (1920) marked a break with the traditi...
