Gyalshing District Flag-Off Event: Solo Bikepacking Journey to Promote Fitness and Awareness
Gyalshing, November 20(IPR):
Today, the village of Darap in Gyalshing District witnessed the flag-off of an extraordinary journey by Mr Susil Limboo, a native of the area and an enthusiastic advocate of fitness and adventure. Mr Limboo is embarking on a remarkable 40-day cycling trip covering Sikkim, Nepal, Delhi, and back to Sikkim. His 40-day journey aims to inspire individuals to embrace fitness as a lifestyle.
Driven by his passion for fitness, Mr Limboo approached the District Collector’s Office for funding support for his journey. In response, the District Collector Ms Yishey D Yongda, suggested a broader purpose for his adventure : raising awareness about “Increasing the declining Fertility Rate in Sikkim”. This 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. Mr 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 Mr Limboo by providing funding and guidance for his noble endeavor. 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 District Administration Gyalshing wishes Mr Susil Limboo great success and encourages everyone to follow his journey and support his cause.
