Cheif Minister Dr. Pawan Chamling stated four very crucial
cardinal principals he has personally adhered to. In his Budget Speech of 2001,
he said "that I have personally adhered to four cardinal principles and my
Government have consistently followed them in ruling this beautiful, peaceful
and grand State of Sikkim. These are:
i) Institutionalization of any process. Individuals may come and go but what
remains is an institution. It is the institutions that link and blind
generations after generations of Sikkimses both among themselves and with rest
of the country. We have always tried to institutionalize whatever programmes and
projects we initiate and implement.
ii) The process of marginalization of poor people has to be stopped. The poor
and downtrodden should rule the state and not the rich and affluent. Because
there are handful of rice and overwhelming majority of poor. My Government draws
its strength and sustenance from have not. We are all for them
iii) Development cost should be shared. Government creates
facilities but we cannot maintain it always. People however, want a qualitative
service. Therefore, they should not mind paying for this service. Particularly
when they can afforded to pay. Only cost sharing can sustain a good process.
iv) Democracy is the best means for social justice and communal harmony. We have
been attempting to use democracy as a means to decentralization also. In other
words, democratic decentralization at all levels of ours functioning is what we
are craving for."
