Earlier today, I met the organisers of Udaan – The Flight of Creativity, an inter-school scholastic competition, at my official residence.

Scheduled for the end of next month at SMIT, Majhitar, this vibrant event is being jointly organised by the Rotary Club of Gangtok and the Inner Wheel Club of Gangtok. Udaan seeks to provide a common platform for students from all corners of Sikkim, be it government or private schools, from urban or rural areas, to come together and showcase their talents.

This is a commendable initiative that encourages creativity, confidence, and collaboration among our youth.

My best wishes once again to the organisers and all participating students for a successful and inspiring event.
