Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang-Golay shares:
“I had the privilege of attending the closing ceremony of the Diamond Jubilee Celebration of the Nepali Sahitya Adhyayan Samiti in Kalimpong.
Congratulating the Samiti on completing 60 years of dedicated service to the promotion of Nepali language, literature and culture, I lauded its invaluable contribution towards preserving our linguistic and literary heritage since its establishment in 1965.
In my address, I highlighted the transformative role of literature in shaping society and emphasized the importance of preserving our language, culture, traditions and identity. I called upon all stakeholders to work collectively towards safeguarding and promoting our rich heritage for future generations.
I also shared various initiatives undertaken by the Government of Sikkim, including the observance of Nepali Bhasa Manyata Diwas, celebrated on the birth anniversary of Late Nar Bahadur Bhandari, Ethnic Attire Day, and the establishment of institutions dedicated to the promotion of indigenous languages.
Reflecting on the shared literary and cultural legacy, I paid tribute to the pioneers of the Nepali Language Movement and acknowledged the contributions of literary icons, intellectuals and organizations that strengthened the cause of Nepali language and literature.
As we celebrate this remarkable milestone, let us reaffirm our collective commitment to preserving and promoting our language, literature and cultural heritage. I extend my heartfelt best wishes to the Nepali Sahitya Adhyayan Samiti for its continued success and greater achievements in the years ahead.”
