The Sikkim Pradesh Congress Committee (SPCC) expressed deep sorrow and grief over the passing of Dr. Manmohan Singh, the former Prime Minister of India and a leader whose contributions have had a profound impact on the nation. In a tribute, Gopal Chettri, President of SPCC conveyed his condolences to Dr. Singh’s family on behalf of the Congress family and the people of Sikkim.
Dr. Singh, a statesman of unparalleled intellect and humility is remembered for his visionary leadership and economic foresight, which played a pivotal role in transforming India. As the architect of India’s economic liberalization in 1991, he initiated policies that fostered growth and development, elevating India’s position on the global stage. His tenure as Prime Minister from 2004 to 2014 saw the implementation of key welfare programs, including the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), the Right to Information Act, and the National Food Security Act, all of which empowered millions of Indians.
The people of Sikkim remember Dr. Singh’s personal intervention during the 2011 earthquake, where his swift action and compassionate leadership provided much-needed relief and rehabilitation to the affected communities. His unwavering support during the crisis remains a testament to his deep concern for the welfare of the people of Sikkim.
Dr. Singh’s legacy will continue to inspire future generations, especially his commitment to strengthening democracy, fostering national integration and ensuring that economic growth benefits every citizen.
