My take on community and lack of anything to do for young people in Sikkim I grew up in Darjeeling (not a hostel), so I noticed few differences which I feel may be a factor in the current situation in Gangtok (since I am from here) , Sikkim as whole when our state and town should be theoretically thriving (as High Per Capita GDP, mountains, more opportunities to population ratio as our population is tiny compared to other states , fully organic) than Darjeeling (which has a history of political unrest and identity problems yet we don’t hear suicides as rampant there). My intention... 1 0 replies
What are the immediate pressing issues of Sikkim in terms of development and policies that need to be focused on? For starters, the road to STNM hospital. R&D for suicide prevention. Tax reduction. Electricity and water supply. Roads in North and West Sikkim. Gangtok traffic. Timely salary payments. Recruitments. If it were me, I'd do a mandatory Vitamin D supplementation for each and everyone. Since most Sikkimese are deficient in Vitamin D and it also causes depression. I'd also have the water supply checked for heavy metal toxicities. With all due respect, I just saw a video wherein our HCM is addressing the media, talking of his upcoming janta... 2 0 replies

Creamy layer in ST and BL seats in sikkim? This is my personal opinion but i feel that all the kids of officers are getting officers post.Not only posts the college scholarships and foreign university scholarship too has high number of children of well to do people.

Anything wrong with the workplace etiquettes of Sikkimese Men?

So people since we are talking about the high suicide rate - now it’s 21 in 15 days. What can we do about it now? What actions can we take right now as I write this and as you read this? How can we help ourselves? B 1 5 replies
21 suicide cases in 15 days. I'd posted sometime ago about depression being a bit too common in Sikkim. And with low fertility rates, and such rampant ending of lives, where are we headed as a community? What would happen to us, as Sikkimese populace, say 10 years down the line? Aging population, shrinking workforce, perpetually depressed youth. Not sure if mental health talks and press conferences shall mitigate this trend. Suicide needs to stop getting highlighted in news media. It may subliminally be providing an easy solution, the causes of suicide sometimes being way... 1 5 replies
