Bhanu Jayanti celebrations to educate young about their culture: KN Rai

GANGTOK, 10 July: The Bhanu Jayanti Celebration Committee [BJCC] working president, Speaker KN Rai, highlighted today that the Bhanu Jayanti celebrations would try to present and introduce history, tradition, culture and languages to the younger generation. He stressed the importance of the younger generation knowing about their roots.
Addressing a press conference today, Mr. Rai informed that the celebration would include various initiatives and activities to inform the younger generation about the ancient history, culture and traditions of Sikkim.

Mr. Rai also stated that the state government has been doing its best in this regard but there is still need for further cooperation and support from the people.
The celebration committee’s general secretary, Parasmani Dangal, in turn shared details of the two-day Bhanu Jayanti celebrations to be held on 12 and 13 July, this weekend. He informed that on 12 July, the celebration will start with various competitions which will be followed by a national level seminar and finally conclude with performances by artists from Sikkim and the Darjeeling hills.
On 13 July, the celebration will begin with the Sobha Yatra from Bhanu Udayan here and the main function will be held in the afternoon at Mannan Kendra. In the evening, artists from Nepal Sambhu Rai, Divya Bhandari and Dev Narayan Pradhan will be performing.
