From the Vice-Chancellor’s Desk

Dear Colleagues and Students,

Sikkim University was established on 2^nd July 2007, through an Act of Parliament, and has made significant progress since then. Despite various obstacles, we have worked hard to position Sikkim University as a leading academic and research institution in India, with the goal of creating skilled professionals for a global job market.

I take great pride in the teamwork of our students, faculty, and staff who have focused on enhancing learning, teaching methods, and university management, ensuring that our academic programs and administration flourish.

The construction of the permanent campus is progressing well, with the first phase of Package-1 set for completion very soon. The ongoing development of the campus will help overcome various challenges we are facing being housed in rented buildings and enhance our ability to attract more students, faculty, and global partnerships.

As we move forward, let us remain committed to achieving intellectual, academic and cultural development of the people of Eastern Himalayas.
