The man behind the chitto delivery startup is no more.

The young man, Ren Pema Wangdi Shipmoo Rongkul, who was the man behind the 5-year-old startup Chitto Delivery has left the world.

His passing away has come as a shock to many well-wishers, family, friends, startup circle, and artists groups in the state.

It maybe here mentioned that Lt. P. W. Lepcha was also a versatile Lepcha folk dancer and was a co-founding member of the Lepcha folk dance organization called Kurnaap Achook.

The Kurnaap Achook was a Lepcha folk dancer's club whose magical performances have been wowing national and state-level audiences to date since the organization inception.

Lt. Lepcha was also an NCC cadet and served as Senior Under Officer, SUO, and was Sikkim's first Governor Gold Medallist Awardee.

He also served as representative of NCC from 2015 to 2017.

Lt. Lepcha completed his schooling at Sir Tashi Namgyal Higher Secondary School and did his graduation from Nar Bahadur Bhandari Government College then called Sikkim Government College, Tadong.

The Kurnap Achook on its official page has expressed shock and sorrow over the passing away of Ren Pema W. Shipmoo.

"This is a very sad and equally shocking news that our beloved dear brother Anum Pema Wangdi Lepcha is no more with us and has left for a heavenly abode. He was always inspiring and full of good energy, never in this world we have thought something like this would happen to him. Our deepest condolences & rest in peace 🙏."

Lt. Lepcha passed away on the night of 27th October and it was an unnatural death.

The post-mortem was conducted on the 28th of October.

The North Sikkim Relief conducted at Namchi was another successful event after Gangtok.

"When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed."
-Maya Angelou

On 21st October Kumorpon, A progressive Lepcha folk band was able to conduct another rousing relief busking for the GLOF-affected victims of North Sikkim.

The Namchi's event was the second phase event of the North Sikkim Relief, in which the first phase was completed at Gangtok where a day busking session was entangled.

The Namchi program was a grand success but the success could have been limited without the sheer help and support from Renjyong Mutanchi Rong Tarzum's CEC Vice President Namgyal Lepcha, Renjyong Mutanchi Rong Tarzum's South branch led by the president and its co-executives members, District Administration, Police personnel, Munsoolong hotel, etc.

Many thanks are also due to the staff, faculty members & students of Sikkim Alpine University. Likewise, thank you to the students of Sikkim Government College, Namchi (Kamrang) for their support, backing, and cheering us up.

We will make sure that the relief fund that we have collected reaches the right place and hand.
We will also be accountable and will maintain our transparency with the use of funds that we have collected.

Kumorpon is also particularly thankful to the members of the Lassomung Kup band and Renyue Dikit Zangmu for their constant support and for sharing our sweats to help the victims in Northern Sikkim.

Thank you all once again for coming together in the hard times.

Khamrimoo,

Kumorpon would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation & gratitude to all the supporters, followers, fans and the people of Sikkim who came to support our noble cause.

The North Sikkim Relief which held for two days at heart of Sikkim, MG Marg from 15th October to 16th October was a huge success.

The noble initiative earned Rupees 85,000 approx.

The North Sikkim Relief organised by Kumorpon would not have been possible without the support and help from fellow band mates, Lassmung kup, Dikit Zangmu Lepcha and other artisit of Sikkim who joined us during the two days busking at MG Marg.

We also would like to thank Ren Namgyal Lupon, Vice-President Renjyong Mutanchi Rong Tarzum, Ren Tenzing Loden Lepcha, Superintendent of Police; Gangtok, Sikkim Lepcha Students' Association, SLYA branch Nandok Kyong and all others without whose this busking session won't have stood this moment.

We also would like to take this opportunity to called out to our supporters, fans and the one who wishes to place your solidarity with the GLOF-affected victims to be there on Namchi Bazaar on 22nd october.

We, the Kumorpon, will be doing busking at Namchi Bazaar too.

We will make sure to maintain transparency and will remain accountable to our contributors.

4th October's Glacial Lake Outburst Flood which badly hit Eastern and Northern part of Sikkim and the Teesta basin has affected many people.
Many have lost their live ones, many parts of Sikkim have totally been cut off, and the infrastructure of the state has been badly hit.

During this hard time, Kumorpon places our sincere solidarity with the people and the state.

Let us all contribute a bit to initiative.

Thank you!

Regards
-Kumorpon

Tendong Lho Rum Faat (TLRF) 2023 was a big success in many ways. TLRF-23 gave opportunity to more than 48 SHGs and budding entrepreneurs to showcase their products to the larger audience giving them direct chance to interact B2B & B2C.

TLRF-23 strongly believed and supported by CM of Sikkim, Ren Prem Singh Golay, said in many instances by APS to HCM Ren Tshering Wangchuk Lepcha.

Ren TW Lepcha, who is the APS to the HCM, was one of the fundamental and strong pillar of TLRF who was appointed as the Chief Coordinator of the celebration committe by the man himself, CM of Sikkim Ren PS Golay.
In his capacity as a Chief Coordinator saw him in diverse role ranging from being a bridge between the Government & stakeholders to setting out framework for the success of three days events to negotiating & sharpening the roads to the finale & what not?

APS to HCM Ren TW Lepcha writes in his official handle;

"Thank you HCM Shri Prem Singh Tamang-Golay for believing in me and for your blessings which gave me the confidence and wings to coordinate successful Tendong Lho Rum Faat Celebrations 2023 from 6th to 8th August in Gangtok, the heart of Sikkim after 11 years.

This years’ function saw Yongthoom- open market in MG Marg which provided business platform for budding entrepreneurs and SHGs from nooks and corners of sikkim.
We could organise competitions like Voice of Tendong and Dancing Feet of Tendong where various artists could participate and showcase their talents.
We could also organise Tendong Knowledge series which saw various PHD scholars who could give a presentation on their research work at Chintan Bhawan.

Thank you all the sponsors and wellwishers who were there to witness the event and support in cash or kind. Thank you all the sub committee members who worked wholeheartedly and amazing Treasurers and Financial committee members for keeping the balance sheets and payments transparent.

Last and not the least our senior leaders for your blessings and respected RMRT, RMROS and RMRK bodies for the support.
Teamwork, Transparency and Trust is the key to organise successful events. Without these 3 T, any event can be catastrophic.

TWL."

#editorial What are the indigenous people of Sikkim, Lepcha eager to learn about? The cry of the Lepcha people for their language to be included in the 8th schedule of the Indian constitution is a long-time demand now. A few parties like HSP, and Hamro Sikkim Party, have come out with their clear stand on the demand of the community cry. Major parties of Sikkim are staying numb and this is where the indigenous community of Sikkim, Lepcha is patiently waiting. At present, Sikkim Krantikari Morcha, SKM & Sikkim Democratic Party, and SDF are the major party, the ruling party being the former and the latter being the principal opposition party. CAP, Citizens Action Party led by Ganesh Rai is in the fray of a political tussle to become the next major party of Sikkim. Sikkim unit Bharatiya Janta Party, BJP, has a strong influence and has the most number of legislators after the ruling front in the legislative assembly of Assembly. The ruling front, SKM, and BJP are running the government in coalition. Also, not to forget the SKM is in alliance with the central BJP government too, the bond with the BJP Sikkim unit is not so good at the moment but in the center, the alliance was recemented in stronger rendition with the participation of the Chief Minister Ren Prem Singh Golay in the recently concluded National Democratic Alliance, NDA, meet chaired by Prime Minister Ren Narendra Modi. However, all these parties are on the same pitch, maintaining numbness, when coming to the point of inclusion of the Lepcha language in the 8th schedule of the Indian constitution. At this stage, Sikkim Krantikari Morcha has one member of parliament in the lower house, Lok Sabha and Sikkim Democratic Party has one member of parliament in the upper house, Rajya Sabha. How will the parties going to react to the indigenous community's demand? This will be something interesting to watch out for in the coming days. Till then, take care! Achulay! #lepcha
