Location:-

North Eastern India contains the state of Sikkim. In the south, it borders West Bengal; in the east, Bhutan; in the west, Province No. 1 of Nepal; and in the north and northeast, the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. Sikkim is relatively close to the Siliguri Corridor, which borders Bangladesh.

Organic Agriculture/Horticulture:-

According to the London-based World Book of Records, Sikkim is the "first organic state in the world." To become an organic state, Sikkim needed to transform 75,000 hectares of land into organic farms. A focus was placed on using organic farming materials rather than chemical pesticides, and agricultural laboratories, nutrition management techniques, and pest management were also established. Numerous awareness efforts about the treatment of acidic soil and organic packaging were also organised.

Sikkimese Lifestyle:-

Most people are farmers and their primary agricultural products are cardamom, tea, ginger, turmeric, mandarin oranges, guavas, mangoes, and bananas.

The state is also home to a wide variety of arts and crafts. It witnesses a long-standing practice of producing numerous useful items such as the choksee table, woollen carpet, and canvas wall hanging.

Sikkim Civilisation:-

• 1642-1975: The Namgyal-Chogyal dynasty ruled Sikkim as a Buddhist state.
• 1835: The kingdom was acquired by the British.
• 1947: Sikkim became an Indian protectorate post India’s independence.
• 1955: New Constitution came into effect and Sikkim's political power was even more severely constrained because India now controlled foreign policy and national defence.
• 1973: Bureaucrats sought to overthrow the monarchy, which gave India more power.
• 1975: The Chogyal or the ‘king who governs with righteousness,’ Palden Namgyal Thodup, was crushed and Sikkim merged with India as its 22nd state.

Sikkim Literacy- Status & standard of education:-

Average Literacy rate in Sikkim for Urban regions was 88.71 percent in which males were 92.35% literate while female literacy stood at 76.63%. Total literates in the urban region of Sikkim were 123,022.

Since the last ten or so years, Sikkim has experienced enormous growth in the area of education. The quantity of new schools and colleges being built to provide Sikkim's educational system a boost has been abundant. There has been a great resurgence in higher education, as more colleges are being founded to meet the rising demands of students who are interested in pursuing careers.

Sikkim Tourism:-

Travellers visiting Sikkim find a magical world with breathtaking natural splendour. It is a holiday that is both intriguing and difficult because of the Himalayas' panoramic beauty, the intoxicating aroma of flower-adorned meadows, the vibrant culture and joyful festivals, and the endless variety of its flora and animals. Mt. Kanchenjunga, the third-highest mountain in the world, is Sikkim's crowning achievement. The Teesta and the Rangeet, Sikkim's two main rivers, along with the attractive villages, hot springs, and waterfalls, add beauty to the steep landscapes, lush and deep woods, and blooming exotic flora. Numerous holy caves that are renowned as destinations for pilgrimage are scattered throughout the mountain sides.

Mode of transport in Sikkim:-

The Sikkim government operates fixed-rate buses, Sikkim Nationalised Transport (SNT), which travels between Siliguri and Gangtok from its bus terminal in Siliguri. From New Jalpaiguri (NJP), buses travel to Gangtok. To go the 124 kilometres to Gangtok, many tourists take trains and get out at New Jalpaiguri.
