As Sikkim celebrates 50 years of statehood, the Himalayan state has placed environmental conservation at the heart of its golden jubilee celebrations through the ambitious ‘Connect to Earth’ campaign. Launched in 2023 by Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang, the initiative underscores Sikkim’s commitment to sustainable development, biodiversity protection, and community-led climate action.
🌱 Green Milestones in the Golden Year
- Massive tree plantation drive on World Environment Day 2025 under the theme “A Tree for Mother”
- Khachoedpalri Lake designated as Sikkim’s first Ramsar site, gaining global recognition for wetland conservation
- Expansion of organic farming, composting, and rural recycling programs
- Strengthened waste management systems, building on Sikkim’s early ban on single-use plastics
“This campaign is a tribute to both nature and motherhood,” said CM Tamang, highlighting the emotional and ecological symbolism of the initiative.
🧘♂️ Community and Culture at the Core
The campaign actively involves local communities, schools, and spiritual leaders, promoting:
- Green festivals and eco-conscious celebrations
- Organic agriculture training for farmers
- Preservation of traditional sustainable practices
- Dialogues with Buddhist leaders to integrate spiritual teachings with environmental awareness
🛣️ Eco-Infrastructure and Policy Push
CM Tamang has also called for climate-resilient infrastructure, especially along National Highway 10, which is prone to landslides. The government is working to ensure that development does not compromise ecological balance.
🌍 A Model for Sustainable India
As India eyes a greener future, Sikkim’s ‘Connect to Earth’ campaign is emerging as a template for eco-governance, blending policy, people, and planet. With rising forest cover and global accolades for its organic mission, Sikkim continues to lead by example.
