A group of experts has urged the Sikkim government to adopt sustainable growth strategies to realize the state's Viksit Sikkim 2047 vision.
Sikkim's Viksit Sikkim 2047 is a long‑term development roadmap aimed at transforming the state into a prosperous, inclusive economy by 2047.
In a recent briefing, a panel of economists, environmental scientists and regional planners urged the state government to prioritize sustainable growth as the core of the plan.
The experts highlighted the need to balance economic expansion with ecological preservation, citing renewable energy, eco‑tourism and green infrastructure as key levers.
They warned that without a clear sustainability framework, the ambitious targets could risk environmental degradation and social inequity.
