CM says education will be made free up to post-graduation level

By himalayanreview
Ravangla, 5th April: Pawan Chamling reached Ravangla today on the 7th day of the 10-day long Sikkim Vijay Sankalp Rally. People from Barfung, Temi-Namphing, Rangang-Yangang, and Sangha constituencies joined in the event. The event was widely streamed and about 3 lakh people tuned in on social media.

Chamling informed the crowd of SDF’s development plans for the state. He said that the ropeway and skywalk in Yangang which is currently under construction will lead to the development of the constituency into a tourist hot-spot, which will ultimately lead to the overall development of the state. He further added that world-class sewage management will be developed in Ravangla. Other key promises made by the CM include making a housing colony for landless and homeless people, Rs 5,000 to be provided as pension to every ex-Panchayat, doubling of Panchayat salary in the coming term, regularising of government services, and One Family One Job scheme.

He further stated that education is a key priority of the SDF government and the government’s policy to provide free education up till the college level will continue. He promised will further be taken forward to make education free up to the post-graduation level.

Commenting on the recent spate of violence undertaken by SKM he said, “SKM party is a party that thrives on violence. The recent violence being undertaken by the party all over Sikkim is shameful and condemnable and will never be accepted by the people of Sikkim”.

He urged the people to vote once again in favour of the SDF party in the upcoming elections reminding people of the great responsibility of voting and warning people to be wary of seasonal politicians, who will disappear immediately after the elections and betray them.

On the previous 6 days of the Sikkim Vijay Sankalp Rally, Pawan Chamling addressed the public in Soreng, Mangan, Gangtok, Namthang, Rorathang, and Kabi. In the days to follow he will be addressing the public in Geyzing, Mining, Rangpo, and Jorethang.

The election to the 32-member Sikkim Assembly is being held on 11th April alongside the Lok Sabha election.

The late Jungkyang Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal, seated with his mother Queen Mother Denzong Lhayumkusho, daughter of Rakasha family of Tibet, and Prince Wangchuk whose late mother hails from the Samdrup Phodrang family of Tibet. Standing next to Denzong Queen Mother is the senior Rakasha Lhachamkusho, daughter of Raja Tsodrak Namgyal Taring of Sikkim, the eldest son of Chogyal Thutop Namgyal, who gave up the Sikkimese throne to his younger brother Sir Chogyal Tashi Namgyal in favour of staying in Tibet.  The Taring family of Tibet enabled into Tibetan high society by the great 13th Dalai Lama, is legitimately the unbroken elder line of the Royal Namgyal lineage of Sikkim, since Raja Tsodrak Namgyal was the Crown Prince of Sikkim, and his sons and grandsons today go by the Taring family name. Standing in the picture is also Princess Kukula, sister of the Chogyal married to the Phuenkhang family of Tibet.  Rakasha Tsetop, Rakasha Tseten, Yap Dr. Paljor, Soden Wangdi, Chimi ...

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 ...
