Sikkim has been a peaceful country.  The country itself is like Nepal geographically and diverse in people and culture. It's cultural, traditions are still being celebrated. No group or their  religion or practice been suppressed. But most importantly Sikkim is in the right direction. Its economy and education system are all going in a right direction. All of this can be pointed to the politician of Sikkim. The politician like Chief Minister of Sikkim Pawan Chamling who has been the tremendous catalyst for the Sikkim future which is going so well for the Sikkimese. This is something Nepal need to learn from our neighboring state.
CM Pawan Chamling being the mastermind behind the success of Sikkim growth again was sworn in as CM of Sikkim for 4th consecutive terms.  And with a record fourth win for his cabinet, things can
only get better for Sikkim.

Gangtok: A heady mix of old hands, young and fresh faces and women members featured in the 12 member new cabinet headed by Chief Minister Pawan Chamling who was sworn for the record fourth consecutive term today.


Mr. Chamling was sworn into office for the fourth consecutive term this morning by Governor Balmiki Prasad Singh at the Ashirbad bhavan at the Raj Bhavan complex here in the capital.


The Governor administrated the oath of office and secrecy to Mr. Chamling as the Chief Minister of Sikkim. The Governor then administrated the oath of office and secrecy to the other 11 cabinet ministers individually.


The new cabinet of Sikkim Democratic Front (SDF) government was significant as none of the old cabinet members of the last term who were handed tickets and won were retained in Mr. Chamling├втВмтДвs new team.


The new cabinet has seen a total new team which included seven first timers. It follows the model of ├втВм╦Ьfive old and seven new faces, including two women├втВмтДв of the Chief Minister but in a slightly different manner.


The difference is that barring the Chief Minister the rest of his 11 cabinet colleagues are either new or making a comeback after a rest.



├втВм┼УIt is a hundred percent new cabinet├втВм┬Э, said Mr. Chamling later in the evening during a press meet.


Mr. Chamling has retained home, finance, revenue and expenditure, Department of Personnel, Planning and economic reforms, North eastern council and other departments not specifically allocated to any other ministers.


Regarding his decision not to retain the power department which he had held in the previous term, the Chief Minister told SIKKIM EXPRESS that it was done so as he could not given proper time. ├втВм┼УIt was due to my busy schedule and I have handed the responsibility to a young minister (SG Lepcha). He is from North Sikkim and is well sensitized about the local issues├втВм┬Э, he said.


Among the old hands Ran Bahadur Subba, the fourth term MLA who defeated Nar Bahadur Bhandari from Soreng-Chakung constituency in west Sikkim and was a MLA in the last term has been given a cabinet berth with the roads and bridges and labour department in his portfolio.


Thinley Tshering Bhutia also a fourth term SDF MLA from Kabi-Lungchok who was not in the cabinet last term but had previously served as minister has bounced back as the minister for water security and public health engineering and transport departments.


The Speaker of the last Assembly, DN Takarpa who is serving for the second term after winning from Rinchenpong constituency in west Sikkim this time has also been included in the cabinet. He has been handed health care, human security, family welfare, animal husbandry and law and parliamentary affairs departments. Read the rest of this entry ├В┬╗











ESSAY: Enchanting Gangtok


Posted by barunroy on May 22, 2009




FROM THE STATESMAN


A profusion of lofty peaks, holy lakes, ancient monastries, orchid nurseries, heli-tours and stunning trekking routes make for an amazing destination for tourists. And the happy faces all around make for better trade, says Chandan Sen


THE Nepalese call it Sukhim, ├втВм┼УThe New Place├втВм┬Э; for the Bhutias it is ├втВм┼УThe Valley of Rice├втВм┬Э; and the Lepchas simply call it Nye-mae-el Lang, meaning ├втВм┼УAbode of the Gods├втВм┬Э. A land of immense natural beauty, Sikkim is imbued with a mystic aura steeped in legend and history. The profusion of lofty peaks, holy lakes, ancient monastries, orchid nurseries, heli-tours and stunning trekking routes make Gangtok, its capital, an amazing destination for tourists. And the happy faces all around make for better trade.


Gangtok aptly means ├втВм┼Уhill top├втВм┬Э and it is perched at 5,500 feet above sea level, on the ridge of a valley. It lies snuggled between the borders of Nepal and Bhutan at an altitude of 1,547 metres and is famous for its numerous important monasteries and picturesque Himalayan views. Beautiful town houses share space with some of the most important Buddhist religious sites in India. The road to Gangtok from Siliguri, with the Teesta river for company, is a traveller├втВмтДвs delight. The locals worship the mountain range as a deity. Flower-filled meadows and hot springs, splendid vistas supplemented with tribal colours lure travellers to this place. You don├втВмтДвt feel like you├втВмтДвre living in India for a moment.


It is a quaint mix of the old and the new, of modern structures and ancient Buddhist monuments, of bustling commercial centres and quiet monasteries emanating an aura of spirituality. Gangtok is also famed for its wonderful orchids and, every spring, an orchid festival and flower show is held to celebrate this exotic bloom. Mount Kanchendzonga, considered Sikkim├втВмтДвs guardian, is visible from many parts of the town. Long walks, especially in the morning, and the ropeway complete a memorable experience.


Chief minister Pawan Kumar Chamling has been instrumental in highlighting Sikkim├втВмтДвs beauty and with a record fourth win, things can only get better.


Khangchendzonga viewing: Tashi view point (eight kilometres) is a popular picnic spot that offers grandstand views of Kanchendzonga. The Enchey monastery, too, has one of the best views in the entire mountain range.



Excursions: Tsomgo Lake and Nathu-la Pass. One can drive into the glacial oval-shaped Tsomgo Lake (3,780 metres) just 38 km from Gangtok to enjoy its mystical environs and yak rides. Going further, the historic Nathu-la Pass generally gets enveloped in mist later in the afternoon. The Baba Mandir is a special attraction. Read the rest of this entry ├В┬╗

Reforms have benefited Sikkim, says CM






Jump in State GDP, drop in poverty level






Sarikah Atreya



Gangtok, Jan 27. Sikkim Chief Minister Mr Pawan Chamling has said
that the reforms movement initiated by his Government after it came to
power in 1994 has started to bear fruit. He said this while interacting
with bureaucrats in Gangtok recently.


├втВм┼УWhen my government decided to launch new programmes after coming to
power in 1994, the State had drastically deviated from past strategies
and instruments of development. This coupled with under-development and
a low-growth scenario, serious economic crises and political
instability made the problem more difficult for us,├втВм┬Э Mr Chamling said.


The major task was to sensitise the people of the State to the need
for such a reformation, Mr Chamling said. ├втВм┼УOurs has been a society that
has very strong roots in traditional institutions and practices. More
seriously, I had to make consistent efforts to convince our people
about both the short- and long-term benefits brought about by such
reforms and liberalisation. We initially had a tough time both because
people had become too dependent on the government for employment and
other services and because a strong mindset of lethargy and status quo
had already been established among members of the political community
and bureaucratic fraternity,├втВм┬Э he said.



Growth rate



The State has since made great strides on the economic development
front. ├втВм┼УWe have moved far ahead. The growth rate has been relatively
much higher than the national average. The gross domestic product (GDP)
of the State increased from Rs 403 crore in 1993-94 to Rs 1,717 crore
in 2005-2006. This means the gross state domestic product has increased
4.2-fold after our government took over. During the last four years of
the 10th Plan (2002/03-2005/06), the State GDP has grown over 13 per
cent per annum at current prices. If this is maintained, Sikkim will
for the first time achieve a two-digit growth rate,├втВм┬Э Mr Chamling said.


├втВм┼УThe per capita gross domestic product recorded over three-fold
increase from a mere Rs 8,457 in 1993-94 to Rs 29,808 in 2005-06. This
means Sikkim recorded a 3.5-fold increase in the per-capita income of
each Sikkimese after our government took over. Among the 28 States and
seven union territories in the country Sikkim has the fifth-highest
growth rate in per capita income and 14th-highest per capita income.
The latest report of the Reserve Bank of India on the State Finances ├втВмтАЭ
a study of Budget 2006-07 ├втВмтАЭ mentions that Sikkim is the State which
devotes the highest share of 31.3 per cent of its budget to the social
sector,├втВм┬Э he said.


Plan allocations have recorded significant jumps from Rs 216.67
crore in the 7th Plan (1985-90) to Rs 1,655.74 crore in the 10th Plan
(2002-2007). The structural shift in the Sikkimese economy has been
remarkable with tertiary (services) sector contributing the largest
share (54 per cent) to the State Domestic Income. ├втВм┼УThis is a very
healthy trend and shows that the State is fast moving from a
├втВм╦Ьdeveloping├втВмтДв to ├втВм╦Ьdeveloped├втВмтДв State,├втВм┬Э he said.


The percentage of population below poverty line has gone down
steadily after recording a sharp jump in 1993-94. ├втВм┼УI further expect it
to go down towards the end of 10th Plan in 2006-07 for which data is
awaited. As per the preliminary findings of the State├втВмтДвs Socio-Economic
Census 2005, the percentage of households below poverty line has gone
down drastically to 19.2 per cent,├втВм┬Э Mr Chamling added.
