From the Vice-Chancellor’s Desk

Dear Colleagues and Students,

Since its inception in July 2007 through an Act of Parliament, Sikkim University has steadily grown, overcoming many challenges to emerge as a prominent centre for  academic and research excellence in the North Eastern region.

The development of our permanent campus is a major milestone that will address current limitations and open up new possibilities—for expanding our academic  footprint, attracting top talent, and building global collaborations.

I firmly believe that the dedication of our faculty, staff, and students will continue to drive the University forward. Together, we are shaping an institution that delivers high-quality education not only to Sikkim, but to the entire nation.

Let us move ahead with a shared vision of intellectual, academic, and cultural enrichment for the people of the Eastern Himalayas.

Warm wishes,

Prof. Santanu Kumar Swain

Vice-Chancellor
