GYALSHING, (IPR):
The Darap village in Gyalshing district on Wednesday witnessed the flag-off of
an extraordinary journey by Susil Limboo, a native of the area and an
enthusiastic advocate of fitness and adventure.
Limboo
is embarking on a 40-day cycling trip covering Sikkim, Nepal and Delhi. His
40-day journey aims to inspire individuals to embrace fitness as a lifestyle.
Driven
by his passion for fitness, Limboo approached the District Collector’s Office
for funding support for his journey.
In
response, district collector Yishey. D. Yongda suggested a broader purpose for
his adventure: raising awareness about “Increasing the declining Fertility Rate
in Sikkim”.
The
theme “Jansankhya Ko Vriddhi, Sikkim Ko Samridhi” addresses the pressing
concern of Sikkim's declining fertility rate and its implications for the
State’s long-term development.
Limboo
readily embraced the idea floated by the DC, adding a meaningful dimension to
his adventure.
The
Office of the District Collector has extended its full support to Limboo by
providing funding and guidance for his noble endeavour. The collaboration
ensures that this unique journey carries a dual purpose: promoting a healthy
lifestyle through fitness and drawing attention to an important demographic
challenge faced by the state.
This
remarkable initiative symbolizes the power of individual determination and
community support in driving positive change.
The
Gyalshing district administration has extended best wishes to Susil Limboo and
encouraged everyone to follow his journey and support his cause.
