पक्कीगाँव उच्चतर माध्यमिक विद्यालयमा भव्य वार्षिक उत्सव सम्पन्न।
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
सोरेङ पक्कीगाँव डिसेम्बर १२/ २०२५ | भवानी पोखरेल

पक्कीगाँव उच्चतर माध्यमिक विद्यालयमा आज विविध सांस्कृतिक शैक्षिक तथा खेलकुद गतिविधिहरूले भरिपूर्ण भव्य वार्षिक उत्सव सम्पन्न भएको छ। बिहानैदेखि विद्यालय परिसर उत्साह, उमंग र उत्सवमय वातावरणले गुञ्जायमान रहेको थियो। बालबालिकादेखि अभिभावक, शिक्षक तथा विद्यालय परिवारको उल्लेखनीय उपस्थितिले कार्यक्रमलाई अझ आकर्षक बनायो।

कार्यक्रमको प्रारम्भि चरणमा विद्यार्थीहरूले आकर्षक खेलकुद स्पर्धा नृत्य सङ्गीत तथा अन्य प्रतिभा प्रदर्शनमार्फत आफ्ना कला क्षमता प्रस्तुत गरे।

विद्यालयले विशेष गरी बालबालिकालाई सिर्जनशील, आत्मविश्वासी र सकारात्मक दिशातर्फ प्रोत्साहित गर्ने उद्देश्यले विभिन्न प्रेरणादायी कार्यक्रमहरूको आयोजना गरेको थियो।

कार्यक्रमका मुख्य अतिथि तथा सिक्किम सरकारद्वारा मनोनीत आपकारी विभागका ओएसडी रेमन थापाले विद्यार्थी, अभिभावक तथा शिक्षकहरूलाई सम्बोधन गर्दै विद्यालयको वर्तमान शैक्षिक अवस्थाबारे महत्वपूर्ण विचार व्यक्त गरे।

उहाँले विशेष गरी सरकारी विद्यालयमा विद्यार्थी भर्ना वृद्धि गर्नुपर्ने आवश्यकता औंल्याउँदै भन्नुभयो पक्कीगाँव सरकारी माध्यमिक विद्यालयमा इनरोलमेन्ट वृद्धि गर्नु आजको प्रमुख आवश्यकता हो। हाम्रो गाउँ बस्तीका नानीहरूले सरकारी विद्यालयमै भर्ना होस् भन्ने अभियानलाई अझ सशक्त बनाउनुपर्छ भन्ने कुरालाई जोड दिनुभयो

त्यही क्रममा उहाँले विद्यालयको इतिहाससमेत स्मरण गर्दै थप भन्नुभयो यो विद्यालय १९४७ मा स्थापना भएको हो। हाम्रो पाका पुस्ताले शिक्षा नपुगेको कठिन समयमा पनि आफ्नो श्रम, समय र समर्पण दिएर यो विद्यालय उभ्याएका हुन्। आज हामीले पाएको सुविधा उनीहरूको त्याग र दूरदृष्टिको परिणाम हो जसलाई सम्झेर अझ राम्रो शिक्षालय बनाउन हामी सबैको कर्तव्य हुन्छ भन्ने कुरालाई राख्नुभयो।

उहाँले समाजमा फैलिन खोजिएको सरकारी विद्यालयमा गुणस्तरीय शिक्षा हुँदैन भन्ने धारणालाई पूर्ण रूपमा भ्रम भन्दै अस्वीकार गर्नुभयो।

उहाँले भने यस विद्यालयका उत्पादित विद्यार्थीहरू आज सिक्किम सरकारको सचिवदेखि लिएर विभिन्न उच्च पदहरूमा पुगेर असल सेवा गर्दै आएका छन्। कतिजना व्यक्तिहरू उच्च पदबाट रिटायरमेन्ट भइसकेका छन्। म स्वयं पनि यही विद्यालयको विद्यार्थी हुँ यहीँबाट शिक्षा लिएर उच्च अध्ययन पूरा गर्न सफल भएको व्यक्ति हुँ।

रेमन थापाले सरकारी विद्यालयमा गुणस्तरको शिक्षा उपलब्ध गराउन सकिने तथ्यलाई पक्कीगाँवका उदाहरणहरूले सिद्ध गरिसकेको उल्लेख गर्दै विद्यालयप्रति आस्था, विश्वास र सहयोग बढाउन अभिभावकहरूलाई आग्रह गरे।

कार्यक्रमको अन्तिम चरणमा उच्चतर माध्यमिक विद्यालय व्यवस्थापन प्रधान अध्यापिकाज्यूले विद्यालयको आगामी योजना र दृष्टिकोणको स्पष्ट प्रस्तुति गरिन्।

उहाँले भनिन् २०२६ साल हाम्रो विद्यालयको प्रगतिका लागि महत्वपूर्ण वर्ष हुनेछ। विद्यार्थीलाई अझ गुणस्तरीय शिक्षा, अनुशासन, प्रविधिमैत्री वातावरण तथा सिर्जनात्मक गतिविधिमा प्रोत्साहन दिने दिशामा विद्यालय अगाडि बढ्नेछ।”

साथै उहाँले शिक्षक शिक्षिकाहरूले पूर्ण जिम्मेवारीका साथ शैक्षिक गुणस्तर उकास्न तत्पर रहनुपर्ने बताउँदै अभिभावकलाई पनि निजी विद्यालयजत्तिकै मार्गदर्शन, निगरानी र सहयोग गर्न आग्रह गरिन्।
विद्यालय शिक्षक, विद्यार्थी तथा अभिभावक चारै पक्षको सहकार्यले मात्र सरकारी विद्यालयको पहिचान मजबुत बन्न सक्ने धारणा प्रधान अध्यापिकाले व्यक्त गरिन्।

आज सम्पन्न वार्षिक उत्सव तथा एनुअल फङ्सन ले विद्यालयलाई शैक्षिक तथा सांस्कृतिक रूपमा अझ सशक्त बनाउँदै विद्यार्थीहरूमा आत्मविश्वास र कौशल विकासमा महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका खेलेको विद्यालय परिवारले जनाएको छ।

स्थानीय जनसमुदाय, पूर्वविद्यार्थी तथा अभिभावकको उपस्थिति र उत्साहले पक्कीगाँव उच्चतर माध्यमिक विद्यालयप्रतिको विश्वास र अपेक्षा अझ उच्च भएको देखिन्थ्यो।

Super Car Rally Enters Sikkim for Second Leg

Gangtok, December 12 (IPR): The second leg of the Super Car Rally, being held from December 11 to 15, 2025 in collaboration with the Government of Sikkim and the Black Cat Division under the aegis of the Trishakti Corps of the Indian Army, began from Siliguri in West Bengal and is now en route to enter Sikkim.

As the convoy advanced along NH-10, the roar of high-end supercars reverberated through the valley, creating an unmistakable sense of excitement along the route. The powerful accelerations, precision handling, and unmistakable engine notes cutting through the mountain air added a dynamic burst of energy to the otherwise challenging terrain. Spectators and bystanders along the highway witnessed an impressive display of speed, control, and sheer automotive performance as the vehicles navigated the winding stretches of the corridor.

During this stretch, the convoy passed through several areas affected by the recent GLOF, beginning from Birik Dara. The route highlighted the region’s demanding topography and the ongoing recovery efforts across the impacted zones. Participants observed the changing landscape, restoration work, and the resilience of local communities as they moved through the affected areas.

To ensure the smooth and safe movement of vehicles during the event, NHIDCL undertook essential road restoration and strengthening activities along NH-10. Approximately 350 metres of road at the 27th–28th Mile stretch, previously in earthen condition, was upgraded within three days.

At KM 2 (Kalijhora), NHIDCL is carrying out slope protection works, including SDA anchor bars with pressure grouting, HT wire mesh installation, drainage channelling, and supporting structures such as breast walls, RCC walls, and gabion walls to keep the highway stable and operational.

Furthermore, the convoy has crossed the Teesta River and is en route to Rangpo, where the official flag-off for the Sikkim leg of the rally will take place.
