Governor and CM greetings on Sakewa

GANGTOK, 23 May: On the auspicious occasion of Sakewa, the Governor of Sikkim, Shriniwas Patil and First Lady Rajanidevi Patil have extended heartiest greetings to the people of Sikkim.
The Governor has said, “Sakewa symbolises the worship of Mother Nature as the ultimate source of life and protector of mankind. The reverence and worship of nature, which is inherent in the life and culture of Sikkimese people is instrumental in the preservation of rich ecology and biodiversity that we are proud to possess.
The worship of mother nature has become all the more relevant at a time when the world is coping with the repercussions of overall degradation in the environment and quality of ecosystem. There is widespread threat of depletion of biodiversity by way of extinction of various species of flora and fauna.
The festival of Sakewa signifies the wisdom that our ancestors intended to pass on to the subsequent generations as a tradition in the quest to protect our environment, providing us the way of living in perfect harmony with nature.
On this propitious occasion, let us commit ourselves to promote and strengthen this tradition for the well being of all.”

The Chief Minister of Sikkim, Pawan Chamling and Smt Tika Maya Chamling have also extended their warm greetings and best wishes to the people of Sikkim on the auspicious occasion of Sakewa.
