INTRODUCTION 1, The Seveiiith Five Year Plan for the State of Sikkim WcS formulat.ed keeping in mind the basic objectives of acceleratir;g- the process of economic growth^ with equity social justice, improving living standards as well as standards of efficiency and productivity, with a sharper focus on creation of employment oppoirtunities, allevia^ tion of poverty and consolidating the assets created during the earlier plans.. Much greater emphasis on maintaining the ecologic’al balance^ improving the scientific and tech­ nical content of the plan and decentralisation of plan activities were also part of the development strategy for the Seventh Plan. Keeping in mind these basic objec­ tives a total outlay for the'Seventh Five Year Plan of Rs, 230 cror-es was agreed upon, 2, The policy framework that had been adopted for the plan was translated into specific programmes and action plans with'clearly defined priorities, Wliile Increasing agricultural production continues to be of paramount Importance, development o£ infrastructure particularly in terms of power, roads and bridges has become increa­ singly impoirtant for the State and the successive annual plans have taken care of these requirements. 3, Rural Development with particular emphasis on satis­ fying minimum needs of the rural population, spread of education and health facilities have all been given the also required attention. Efforts have^J^been made to see that the ecological status in the State is improved and a boost is given to the industrial activities in the State, 4, While carrying out the mid term appraisal of the plan, the State has projected that the progross achieved y c-C. jui-, i:.l.i[xc.iJv_;-Lcl.L 0.110. pi'iyoJ.CeLX iJ.0 1 .TiiS d.IIp-l.r.Q’ ' the first two years of the plsti have been in tune wi-hh the objectives and'priorities laid d o i m in the plan, , In fact keeping in mind the pace of’ expenditure, which would enable the State to util 1 ise Rs-i 150 crores by • 1987-88. it hatS been propose(d that' the size of. the plan . should 'be enhanced from.RSr. 23 0.cro.res to Rs^, 307 cjrores* A detailed sectoral review had been projected indicating the .physical achievements in each of the sectors and the additional outlays that will be required in order tOrkaep up the tempo of economic activity as well .as to enable the State to achieve the physical targets laid do^vn for the Seventh Plan^ 5„ The plan for 1988-89 has been drawn up keeping in mind the priorities that have been identified, the vite of pro­ gress achieved in the varioTus sectors and the conclusions that had been arrived at in 'the mid term appraisal* Basi­ cally we have kept in mind tlhe need to ensure that the Seventh Plan physical target.s are fully achieved. Prio­ rity has been given to on going schemes so that with adequate financial provision.s the ^•.aemes are completed and benefits are available t.o the people as early as possible. New schemes have b>een suggested only where the economic viability is established and they also fit in with the State’s deve2iOpment. g-oals, •V 4- 6, The need for acceleratinig infrastructural development keeping in mind the geographiiGal position of the State, its terrain and climatic conditions has been v;ell recog- both nised. It has become imporiiiant to see that/the power and road sectors receive top priority and the ongoing schemes are brought to a conclusion as quickJ.y as possible. Further it is also necessaiy to see that the pace of progress of schemes sanctioned j.n th.- fiLr-st part of the Seventh Plan are such as to ensure their completion within predetermined time frames. The power sector has therefore been given top priority along with the road sector, 7, The spread of education has been rapid in the State and nearly 90 percent of the children in the age group 6 to 11 are now in a position to receive primary education. The number of schools and th-eir geographical distribution has enabled the State to rapidly progress towards fulfilling the objective of universal primary education. We have now to pay increasing attention to the task of improving the guality of education, provision of basic infrastruetui^ faci­ lities as also implementing vigorously the new education policy. 'rnis sector therer-o.re has been accorded priority next only to power and roads and bridges, 8. The industrial scene in the State has undergone a substantial transformation In the past two years and a num- tiber of new industries of medium character are being buiJ.t ^.up. The Vanaspati Plant, the Animal feed plant and bottling ^'factoiry, are in various stagos of progress. The Yoksum -|jDrev73ry has started production during 1987-88, Major ■ expansion schemes of the Sikkim Jewels is under implemen- ■.tation to enable the factoiry to produce a wider range of - •{ - 4 I ^oods with improved standaard.s of productivity, quality etc^ [ Most importantly, Sikkim Tlmie Coroporation which has an r .excellent track record has niot only expanded its production >^ut has started manufacturlmg watch crowns and is diversi- ■’^ying into electronics, Tlhe conclusion of an agreement I with M/s Bharat Electronic Ltd. for the manufacturing of |discrete-semi-conductors is ai land-mark in the State's industrial progress enablimgj Sikkim to enter the age of electronics. The tie up imv^olves supply of raw materials and technology by M/s B.E.Lo as well as full marketing support. All these developments have to be taken note of and financial requirements cater-ed to so that the favour­ able industrial climate is fully ta.ken advantage of and the spread effects of such industrialisation brought to fruition. The traditional crafts amd skills will continue to be developed and the programmes for small and tiny in­ dustries aB well as village and cottage industries given adequate attention. 9. Programmes relating to forestry, environment^ soil conservation, road development, water supply and sanitation as well as the spread of health services have also been*., given due attention keeping in mind the plan's physical targets, 10 e The Annual Plan of 1988-89 zrepresents a concerted and deteirmined effort on the part of the State to see that the 7th plan objectives are fully ^realised within the re­ maining two years and physical targets laid down are fully achieved^ Care has also been taken to see that the nev/ Twenty Point Programme 1986 is given priority attention in all the sectors, 11..

Therefore, it ills me with delight and gratiication both in bringing out this issue. The focus of the magazine for this month is the environment and the natural marvels that Sikkim has been abundantly blessed with. It is a serious and a signiicant topic because there is an absolute need for everyone to fathom how every action and activity of ours has a direct impact on the environment. We need to acknowledge and accept that the damage that we cause to nature is a damage we cause to ourselves. The month of June is especially signiicant for a biodiversity rich State like Sikkim, as numerous environment sustaining activities conceptualized by our environmentally cognizant Hon’ble Chief Minister, Mr. Pawan Chamling, is held and actively participated in by the people of the State. Sikkim, guided by the Hon’ble Chief Minister is becoming both clairvoyant and cautious.

About Us Brief History on Sikkim Not much is known about Sikkim's ancient history, except for the fact that the first inhabitants were the Lepchas or Rong (ravine folk). Lepchas are said to have come from to the region from the Assam and Myanmar side. During 1200 AD Sikkim was absorbed by other clans from Tibet which included the Namgyal clan, who arrived in the 1400's and steadily won political control over Sikkim. In 1642, Phuntsog Namgyal (1604-1670) became the Chogyal (king). He presided over a social system based on Tibetan Lamaistic Buddhism. His descendants of Phuntsog Namgyal ruled Sikkim for more than 330 years. During the 1700's, Sikkim suffered continuous attacks from Nepal and Bhutan, after which it lost much of its territory. Nepalese also came to Sikkim and settled there as farmers. By the 1800's, Sikkim's population was culturally very complicated, and internal conflict resulted. In 1814-1815, Sikkim backed the British in a successful war against Nepal, and won back some of its territory, once lost. In 1835, the British East India Company acquired the health resort of Darjeeling from Sikkim. During the mid-1800's, Sikkim violently withstand attempts to bring it under British rule, but in 1861 it finally became a British colony.

  • Tourism of Namchi, South District of Sikkim: an Overview
    Science, Technology and Development ISSN : 0950-0707 TOURISM OF NAMCHI, SOUTH DISTRICT OF SIKKIM: AN OVERVIEW Amrita SardarPramanick Research Scholar, Dept. of. Geography, C.M.J. University, Jorabat, Meghalaya, India. Dr.Harsha Kumar Das Gupta Research Guide, Dept. of. Geography, C.M.J. University, Jorabat, Meghalaya, India. Abstract: Needless to say, Sikkim is a wonderful tourist destination of our country. South district of Sikkim is comparatively smaller than three other districts of this state. However, it has some of the most amazing places to visit. The nature lovers, adventurists, as well as the other tourists who are very much interested for angling, rafting, camping, trekking, wildlife exploration etc. find this South district as the most ideal destination for their complete enjoyment as it really acts as a healing agent. The present study deals with the infrastructure, scope and possibility of Namchi as the main tourist focus of South Sikkim. This area has the high natural potential of being an excellent tourist attraction of South Sikkim. But in the field of tourism over grooming is taking place because of the huge investment of private business houses and religious trust foundation. Keywords: tourist destination, trekking, rafting, tourism infrastructure. Introduction In terms of Gross Domestic Product, tourism is the second largest contributory sector in Sikkim. This state provides a wide potential in tourism that has yet largely remained unexploited. The perennially snow-capped mountains, lush green tropical and temperate forests, gurgling streams and the rich flora and fauna are all present there for the tourists to savor. The State Government aims at promoting sustainable tourism and simultaneously encourages the private sectors to develop tourism related infrastructure and services without disturbing ecology and environment and also to reduce the tourist pressure at Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim.
