SRINAGAR: Jammu Kashmir Lok Bhavan celebrated the Statehood Day of Sikkim, at Srinagar. The event brought together students, security personnel and people of Sikkim living in the Union Territory. Addressing the gathering, the Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha extended his heartiest greetings to the people of Sikkim on the occasion.

“Sikkim, the sacred land of Guru Padmasambhava, shines like a radiant star among Himalayan states and UTs. It is recognised globally as a model of organic farming, peace and spirituality. The incredible linguistic diversity and rich cultural heritage distinguish Sikkim on the world stage,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

The Lieutenant Governor emphasized that under the guidance of Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Sikkim is scaling new heights of development and stands at the forefront of the nation’s vision. The Lieutenant Governor stated that the emotional bond shared among all Indian states/UTs is deeply rooted in the core values of unity, compassion and brotherhood.

The Lieutenant Governor also highlighted that the landmark July 2022 J&K-Sikkim horticulture agreement has yielded groundbreaking results in fostering interaction among youth, farmers and researchers from both regions. "I regard this thriving collaboration as a prime example of the 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’. This spirit of mutual partnership will prove instrumental in realizing our collective resolve for a 'Viksit Bharat'.

May Sikkim, known for its breathtaking natural beauty and remarkable achievements in sustainable development and organic farming, continue to scale new heights of growth and development. I pray for the well-being and prosperity of all its citizens,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
