Today, I was pleased to witness the initiative of the “Lhali Kumo” Gurung Handloom & Textile Centre at Pasting, under the 20-Chujachen Constituency, East Sikkim.

This initiative promotes women’s empowerment, skill development and the preservation of our rich Gurung cultural heritage. By encouraging traditional handloom and textile craftsmanship, it opens avenues for local women to strengthen their skills, pursue livelihood opportunities and move towards greater economic self-reliance.

I extend my sincere appreciation to the Indian Army for supporting this meaningful initiative and contributing to the welfare and development of our local communities.

As we move forward, preserving our traditions while creating opportunities for our people remains an important part of building a stronger and more self-reliant Chujachen.

Preserving our heritage. Empowering our women. Building a brighter future for Chujachen.

Inauguration of a Newly Constructed House Under SGAY at Pasting

I had the privilege of inaugurating the newly constructed house of Shri Ratna Bahadur Gurung, a resident of Pasting under the 20-Chujachen Constituency, under the Sikkim Garib Awas Yojana (SGAY).

The programme was attended by local administrative officials, SKM party representatives, Panchayat members and members of the beneficiary family.

Under the visionary leadership of our Hon’ble Chief Minister, Shri Prem Singh Tamang-Golay , SGAY continues to bring meaningful change to the lives of economically weaker families by providing secure housing and enabling them to live with dignity, comfort and self-respect.

I remain committed to ensuring that the benefits of such people-centric initiatives reach those who need them the most.

My heartfelt appreciation to the Hon’ble Chief Minister for his unwavering commitment to the welfare and upliftment of the people of Sikkim.

It is heartening to see the Sikkim Livestock Development Board (SLDB), under the AH&VS Department, launch prototypes of Siri Ghee made from A2 milk and Yak Churpi, celebrating Sikkim’s indigenous livestock heritage. The products were launched today during the Sikkim Himalayan Yak Festival at Gnathang Valley.

This initiative promotes traditional products, adds value to local resources, and creates sustainable livelihood opportunities for our farmers and yak-rearing communities.

I congratulate the entire team for this commendable initiative. Let us continue to preserve our indigenous wealth and build a Sunaulo, Samriddha and Samartha Sikkim.

A New Era of Chujachen.
समय फेरिँदैछ, सोच फेरिँदैछ, अनि छुजाचेनको भविष्यले नयाँ आकार लिँदैछ। लुङ्चोकको यो ऐतिहासिक सुरुवात हाम्रो विश्वास र सामूहिक सपनाको प्रतिफल हो। आज हामी #परिवर्तनको साक्षी मात्र होइनौँ, #नयाँ_इतिहासका निर्माता पनि हौँ।
