Chief Minister Pawan Chamling inaugurates Namchi School's hostel



Message of HCM, Shri Pawan Chamling on the inaugural function of newly built boy’s and girl’s hostels at Government Senior Secondary School and Namchi Girls Senior Secondary School at Namchi, South Sikkim.

I extended my best wishes to the principals of both Government Senior Secondary School and Namchi Girls Senior Secondary School for acquiring the new structures. The present State Government’s relentless efforts in uplifting the society and the state by introducing developmental projects in spheres such as education, health care, tourism, commerce & industry, technology, agriculture and animal husbandry, manufacturing and food industry. I sought the participation of the educated and intellectual class in contributing substantially for the holistic development of Sikkim that puts the state at par with the other developed first world nations of the world. 

I emphasized the need for students to encompass a wide-range of knowledge and skills which is relevant, constructive, in-demand and universally applicable to face the competitive challenges of the 21st century. Education has always been a priority of the present State Government and that there are ample amount of schemes and policies in the education sector particularly for the students belonging to economically weaker background. I The various schemes under the present state government such as free education upto college level, free post doctorate education for the BPL students in central universities, educational funding of students under the CMMS scheme for students who are academically proficient. The need for life oriented and value-based learning in the school curriculum as it stimulates mental and emotional growth within the students.

The state sponsored free coaching programs for IAS, NDA and other Allied Service for the Sikkimese students and urged them to tap maximum potential out of such opportunities. Speaking to the youth centric crowd, I urged them to imbibe special interest in subjects such as Mathematics and Pharmacy as it offers them a greater scope to acquire employment in the future. I also proposed varied ways and means for the youth to generate income for themselves in an attempt to make their skills commercially viable particularly through Organic Farming.

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

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 ...

India’s illegal occupation of independent Sikkim has to be reversed

Extracted from Pakistan Defence India’s “Chief Executive” in Gangtok wrote: “Sikkim’s merger was necessary for Indian national interest. And we worked to that end. Maybe if the Chogyal had been smarter and played his cards better, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did.” It is also said that the real battle was not between the Chogyal and Kazi Lendup Dorji but between their wives. On one side was Queen Hope Cook, the American wife of the Chogyal and on the other was the Belgian wife of the Kazi, Elisa-Maria Standford. “This was a proxy war between the American and the Belgian,” says former chief minister BB Gurung. But there was a third woman involved: Indira Gandhi in New Delhi. Chogyal Palden met the 24-year-old New Yorker Hope Cook in Darjeeling in 1963 and married her. For Cook, this was a dream come true: to become the queen of an independent kingdom in Shangrila. She started taking the message of Sikkimese independence to the youth, and the allegations started flying thic...

From archeologist to self made Sikkim historian

Satyajit Ray with former King and Queen of Sikkim BY SHITAL PRADHAN I never wanted to be a teacher, and at the same time, I never had any options. I had always been interested in history since school, but destiny had other careers for me. When I completed high school, I compromised my dream of becoming an archaeologist and opted for Pure Science streams simply to please my father. In my early schooling days, we were taught to plant dreams, and I dreamed of becoming an archaeologist. Tutankhamun, Stonehenge, Crop Circles, Incas, Mayas, ancient civilizations, and many others were the only things I fantasized about. I regularly visited forest areas in my hometown and searched for things, believing that I was an archeologist and was destined to discover it. Funny ways of life. One day, I found a fossil; it was a petrified fossil with an impression of a Gramineae leaf.  Since 2003, I have been trying to get more information about it without success. I completed my Pure Science...
