Sikkim Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang inaugurated a two-day workshop titled “Viksit Sikkim Se Viksit Bharat @2047” at Manan Kendra on Monday, marking the occasion of the Government Formation Day. The event, jointly held by the NDA government at the Centre and the SKM government in the state, aims to chart a developmental roadmap for Sikkim in line with the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.

In his address, the Chief Minister highlighted the significance of building a developed Sikkim as a key component of achieving the national objective. He informed that a comprehensive vision document is currently being prepared to guide the state’s long-term growth and development. Discussions and inputs from the workshop will form a crucial part of this document.

He urged officials and department representatives to participate sincerely and collaboratively in the deliberations, emphasising the importance of convergence and coordination in policy planning. The workshop, he noted, serves as a platform for knowledge sharing and for shaping the future trajectory of the state.

The Chief Minister extended congratulations to the Prime Minister on completing the first year of his third consecutive term, acknowledging the Centre’s continued focus on service, good governance, and inclusive development. He reiterated support for the Prime Minister’s guiding principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, Sabka Prayas.”

He also congratulated the people and government of Sikkim on Government Formation Day, appreciating their collective resilience and commitment to the state’s progress.

Reflecting on the recent golden jubilee of Sikkim’s statehood, the Chief Minister acknowledged the Prime Minister’s virtual address from Bagdogra after adverse weather prevented his visit to the state. He shared that the Prime Minister has tentatively assured a visit to Sikkim in October or early November.

The Chief Minister concluded by commending the efforts of all departments for the successful organisation of the statehood jubilee celebrations and reaffirmed the state’s dedication to aligning with the national vision of a developed India by 2047.
