SDF coordinates with educated youth of South and West districts


DARAP, 22 March: A coordination meeting of the educated youth of South and West district was convened yesterday at Darap in West Sikkim under Yangthang constituency. Political Secretary to the Chief Minister, KN Rai, was present as a resource person accompanied by the Yuksam-Tashiding MLA, Dawcho Lepcha, as guest of honor.
The main objective of the meeting was to build consensus for a joint platform of the educated youth of the two districts with the expressed aim to “plan future initiatives, interact on the present political scenario, promote self-reliance, agree on priorities and responsibilities of the youth towards the state and the society, spread awareness on and build active support for the vision of the Chief Minister, and to get the youth involved in active politics”.
Other guests present for the meet were Yangthang MLA, PL Subba, Zoom-Salghari MLA, Madan Cintury, Sikkim Milk Union chairperson MB Rai along with the SDF central executive members of different constituencies and panchayats.
The SDF, it is learnt, plans to hold such meetings at different parts of South and West districts followed by a door-to-door campaign, political debate and other such engagements to generate wider awareness on the government’s functioning, its policies and plans.
Addressing the around 300 youth gathered from different parts of the south and west districts, the main resource person for the day stressed that the educated youth must come forward and participate in the development process.
He stressed that an involved youth was the best defence against the misleading propaganda that antisocial elements routinely take recourse to to derail the development momentum set for Sikkim under the leadership of Chief Minister Pawan Chamling.
The youth at the meeting also participated in the open house discussion raising the social, economic, political etc problems they have noticed in Sikkim.
The meeting was also addressed by the Yangthang MLA PL Subba, SDF CLC member LP Kafley, SDF CEC member KB Limboo, Sikkim Janbhumi editor Ranjit Tamu, Sikkim Mail editor Ashit Rai, coordinator South-West, Silash Tamang and Yougen Tamang. The programme was hosted by Sushil Tamang and organized by the Darap SDF youth wing. The next meeting of the said educated youths is scheduled for Uttarey in West Sikkim sometime in April.
