Sikkim Akademi thought of holding Extempore Speech competition among the students of class IX-X level students from Rai, Tamang, Sherpa and Gurung communities in order to make the language development works more effective. As such, the President, Sikkim Akademi called on the Director, language Directorate of Education Department and had a detail discussion. Again in this regards also, the problem of Budget provision was highlighted. Even in such odd case, Sikkim Akademi, considering the long term benefit of the Extempore Speech Competition, again expressed its readiness to extend hundred percent financial assistance for holing the Speech Competition.
Accordingly, the competition was organised by the Directorate of Languages in School level, District level and finally State level.
The concluding Programme was holding on 22.03.2024 at Mini Theatre Hall of Manan Kendra, Development Area, Gangtok. Shri Sanu Lama (G.S.Lama) graced the occasion as Chief Guest. The Extempore Speech Competition Cost Rs. 3,55,000/- (Rupees three Lakhs fifty-five thousand) in total.
The Competition revealed that the development of language among our younger generation is not satisfactory and needs more effort and attention from the responsible agencies.
