Responding to the honour, Tamang expressed gratitude to the organisers and described the award as a collective achievement. He credited the people of Sikkim for their continued trust and participation, stating that public support has been central to the state’s development journey.
The Chief Minister emphasised that his administration has prioritised inclusive and citizen-focused governance, particularly in the healthcare sector. He noted that policies have been designed to ensure broader access to services and to improve overall well-being across both urban and rural areas.
Tamang also underscored the importance of collaboration between the government and the public, suggesting that such recognition reflects the outcomes of joint efforts rather than individual leadership alone.
