SIKKIMCHAMBER OF COMMERCE urges the UPA Government to include the lone representative from Sikkim in the Union Cabinet. Honorable Member of Parliament Shri P D Rai is a talented, young and energetic personality having profound vision for upgradation in various fields. He is the lone MP in the Lok Sabha who comes from IIT-IIM club . He is a graduate from Indian Institute of Technology and Indian Institute of Management. This is also a moment of pride for the IIT and IIM because they are finding representation for the first time in Lok Sabha. Shri Rai has the unique distinction of being the first ever IIT-IIMer in the Lok Sabha and will contribute his bit in changing the way Parliament and MPs are viewed in the country.

He has to his credit as being the pioneer who brought Computer age to Sikkim. He also contributed to Sikkim’s upliftment as Deputy Chairman of Sikkim Planning Commission.

Already hundred of IIMs and IITs have congratulated Shri P D Rai and Sikkim’s electorate to make his entry to Indian Parliament . He not only will take up the cause of Sikkim and North East but will be a great asset for the Indian Parliament as he will be able to place his views to upgrade and make India more competitive with his vast knowledge.

We hope his brilliance and achievements will find place in the Union Cabinet to add value to governance in the country. SCC therefore urges UPA to kindly include this young and unique personality from this strategic border state a part of the Union Government structure to further the process of integration of this backward State into the national mainstream.
