Sikkim’s cricket captain Nilesh Lamichaney bags prestigious BDM sponsorship

By himalayanreview
Nilesh Lamichaney, Captain of the Sikkim Cricket Team, added another feather to his short cricket career when he grabbed an opportunity to sign a sponsorship contract with the famed BDM Company. B. D. Mahajan & Sons Private Limited, more popular as BDM, is the world-famous manufacturer of Cricket bats, Cricket Balls, & Cricket Batting pads from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. He now joins the league of players like MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Ricky Pointing, and others.



Captian Nilesh would like to thank BDM, especially Aditya Mahajan and Sanjeev Sharma, through this press release. Nilesh says it was his century and a couple of half-centuries last season that helped him to promote himself on sponsorship. He said that the prestigious contract has given me more responsibility, and I am more focused on my game. He thanked Sanjeev Sharma, coach of Sikkim Cricket Team and former India seamer, for all the support and motivation. He further said he scored his first century in a National Level tournament playing for the U-15 category with a BDM bat. The sponsorship has given a strong and positive message that if you play with your heart and with dedication, it pays you back. 

Adding to the recent performance of the Sikkim team at the Ranji Trophy, Nilesh said the winning habit was never easy, but thankfully, three professional players' performances helped the team’s spirit. They not only helped us win, but our players gained more confidence playing with them. Fielding had been the highlight of the tournament. We played to our best, and we wish to improve our performances in the coming season, he said.

I have been playing with this team since my U-15 days. I was given an opportunity to lead the team then, and since then, my captaincy has improved. The future of cricket at Sikkim is going to be the next big thing. The cricket stadium is on the line, and today, the youngsters can choose cricket as a career, he further added.

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. The exhibition was a huge success. The occasion helped introduce Dipok Dey, a renowned stamp designer from Kolkata and the only Indian to design a United Nations Stamp with the young and eager stamp collectors of the state. Amo...

Sikkim Government Allows Self-Attestation for Most Documents

By himalayanreview
  In a citizen-friendly move to simplify administrative procedures, the Government of Sikkim, through a notification dated 6th August 2018 (No. 52/Home/2018), has allowed self-attestation of documents for most purposes. Issued by the Home Department and published in the Gazette on 11th August 2018, this notification aligns with the 12th report of the Second Administrative Reforms Commission, emphasising "Citizen Centric Administration – The Heart of Governance." Applicants can now submit self-attested copies of documents for admission in educational institutions and for employment in government departments, provided they can read and understand the documents. 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. The move is expected to reduce the burden on citizens and str...

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...
