In Sikkim, development and planning process of Sikkim Distilleries has been playing a very vital role in resource mobilisation and job orientation.

Though this is a negative industry, but positive approach in every respect. I offer my sincere gratitude on behalf of my people to the founder members. Those who come from far distance, and set up this economically viable industry for the economic welfare of the Himalayan Kingdom.
With very best wishes.
