As part of the programme, the Chief Minister knocked the doors of 10 households in Namchi, interacting with people, seeking feedback on the government’s work and understanding their aspirations. The campaign was simultaneously launched by the Founder Members of the SDF party across the state at 500 locations.

Speaking on the occasion, Chamling stated that aspirations obtained through the campaign will be the basis for SDF government’s development agenda. As part of the exercise, the SDF party volunteers will record the demands, opinions & grievances of each member. The party will work towards resolving these demands in the first 100 days of the government. The exercise in line with party’s philosophy of “Janta Raj Ma Jantai Raja” (people are king’s in a democracy). In effect, the people of Sikkim will set the agenda of the Government, the Chamling added.
Chamling Boards a Taxi to Acknowledge the Contribution of Taxi Drivers; Roars into Namchi with a massive Car Rally
In a unique format, Chamling boarded a local taxi (Savari) to travel from the capital Gangtok to Namchi, as a mark of respect to the driver’s fraternity and their role as ambassadors of the State. The Chief Minister was joined in by thousands of enthusiastic volunteers in a car rally which took off from Lal Bazaar and covering Ranipool-Sintam-Mamring-Namthang-Bhanjyang, culminating at Namchi.

Sikkim Philately at a glance-2

By himalayanreview
Ever since Sikkim became part of the Indian Union, four major state-level Philatelic exhibitions had been held organized by the Department of Post. Little is known about the first philatelic exhibition SIKKIMPEX-82 except that among the many participants on the exhibition one of the participants was Late Ganga Kaptan, a legendary figure in Nepali literature. The three-day exhibition had three special covers released. Sikkim Philately had to wait for two decades to have the next major exhibition. Twenty years later in 2002, a three-day exhibition was held at White Hall. It was for the first time the people of Sikkim took a keen interest in that gummed piece of paper.  Dr Pawan Kumar Chamling, the Chief Minister of Sikkim was the Chief Guest on the occasion.

However, documents like the Sikkim Subject Certificate, Certificate of Identification, Residential Certificate, and Land Records still require verification by designated magistrates or gazetted officers from the Land Revenue and Disaster Management Department.

Gyallu : The New Tibetan National anthem

By himalayanreview
Gyallu is the national anthem of Tibet. The anthem focuses on the radiance of Buddha. The words were written by Trijang Rinpoche around 1950 but it is unclear exactly when Tibet's anthem was first used, either while the country was still under the control of the Dalai Lama's administration or first adopted by the government in exile after the invasion by China. The earliest report of an anthem (presumably this one) is from the period of 1949 to 1950 (when the country was already facing the threat of a Chinese invasion), introduced under reforms set in place to strengthen patriotic feelings of the Tibetan people. Another report states that the anthem was presented to the 14th Dalai Lama in 1960, after he went into exile. Regardless of the adoption date, the melody is said to be based on a very old piece of Tibetan sacred music, and the lyrics by the Dalai Lama's tutor, Trijang Rinpoche. It has been used by Tibetans in exile ever since the introduction of the...
