Sikkim's Lomas Dhungel Among 51 'Changemakers' Honoured at National Meet by Samanway Pratisthan

PALANPUR, GUJARAT – The Samanway Pratisthan, a Vadodara-based NGO, has concluded its four-day Changemakers Meet 2025, a national program celebrating individuals who have made significant societal contributions. The event, which began on September 5, was supported by the India Foundation and Banas Dairy, Asia’s largest dairy farm.


For three months, the Samanway Pratisthan conducted a nationwide search for "unsung heroes" for its first-ever meet under The Changemakers Network (TCN). The program's theme was "Be a Sarathi of Viksit Bharat 2047."

From 27 states, 51 "Changemakers" were selected for their exceptional work in fields like health, education, and social service. Lomas Dhungel, a mathematics teacher from Government Senior Secondary School, Makha, Gangtok district, was specifically recognized for his socio-environmental project, "Hariyo Makha - Sikkim Against Pollution" that was started in 2015.

The event was chaired by Shankar Chaudhary, Speaker of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly, and featured several dignitaries, including Suresh Prabhu and Dr. Ram Madhav. They praised the Changemakers' dedication and pledged their support to help these leaders further their work, reinforcing a shared commitment to building a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
