GANGTOK, 26 Nov: The first phase of the Interaction and Revival Tour of District Branches and Village Level branches of the Sikkim Lepcha Youth Association [SLYA], Central Executive Committee concluded on 24 November.
A press release informs that two teams comprising of SLYA president Ongden Tsh. Lepcha and vice president Passang Dorjee Lepcha visited the West District, South District and some parts of East District.
The main agenda of the programme was a signature campaign for equal reservation in government jobs for the Lepcha youth in the state. The Lepcha youth from the village level want the government to provide equal opportunity to Lepchas in government jobs as they are far behind as compared to other communities of Sikkim, the release states.
They have urged the government to consider this long pending demand of the Association.
The Lepcha youths of Sikkim particularly from the rural areas are dissatisfied with the HRDD for not implementing the 5% reservation for Primitive Tribes in higher studies this year even after the Chief Minister had declared it last year, the release mentions.
During the tour the executive body of the village level branches was also formed. SLYA nominated Phup Tshering Lepcha as president and Nim Tshering Lepcha as general secretary of Rhenock branch, Dong Tshering Lepcha as president and Jabina Lepcha as general secretary of Daramdin branch, Budup Lepcha as president and Nimkit Lepcha as general secretary of Dentam-Gitang branch, Chentheo Dorjee Lepcha as president and Norchoo Lepcha as general secretary of Namthang-Palitam branch.
The Sikkim Lepcha Youth Association CEC has also appealed to all the Lepcha youth of Sikkim to come forward and help the Association in this signature campaign which has to be completed by mid-December 2013.
