Srinagar, May 16: Jammu Kashmir Lok Bhavan celebrated the Statehood Day of Sikkim on Saturday, bringing together students, security personnel, and people of Sikkim living in the Union Territory, with Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha extending 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 LG said.
Sinha said that under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Sikkim is scaling new heights of development and stands at the forefront of the nation’s vision. He added that the emotional bond shared among all Indian states and Union Territories is deeply rooted in the core values of unity, compassion, and brotherhood.
The Lieutenant Governor said 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 ‘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,” he said.
