On the historic and momentous occasion marking the completion of 25 remarkable years in public service by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, I extend my heartiest congratulations and warmest greetings to him on behalf of the people and the Government of Sikkim.

From assuming office as the Chief Minister of Gujarat on 7th October 2001 to serving as the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s remarkable journey reflects his unwavering commitment to selfless service, good governance and nation building.

His 25 years of dedicated public service have inspired millions and strengthened the spirit of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas,' while his vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' as well as 'Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat', continues to inspire the nation.

His focus and concern on the development of the North-Eastern Region, with its rich diversity, heritage and immense potential, has given renewed impetus to the region’s connectivity, holistic growth and integration with the national development journey.

The people and the Government of Sikkim remain deeply grateful for the constant support, guidance, affection, and blessings of the Hon'ble Prime Minister towards our State and the people of Sikkim.

I convey my warmest felicitations and pray for his continued good health, strength and long life, as he continues to guide the nation towards greater progress, prosperity, peace and global leadership.

With heartiest congratulations and best wishes on 25 glorious years of dedicated public service.
