"Disciplined workers and friends who are committed to the well-being of people, their progress and emancipation, will alone lead people in our quest to make Sikkim new and prosperous. The day is not far when a sense of new thought, regard for a new change, revolutionary enthusiasm, love and unbreakable kinship with the people will transform Sikkim into a 'naya and sukhi Sikkim'. This is my conviction, which I feel happy to share with you."

The freedom of expression is one of the most cherished values in a democracy, which is guaranteed in our Constitution. It enables the people to keep themselves well informed and facilitates their participation in the process of socio-economic development by offering a wide choice of opinion and alternative to decide on various local, regional and national issues. The department of information and Public Relations envisages for itself an effective role in empowerment of people by providing a free flow of information. Under the present Government, the freedom of press has been fully restored.
