Sikkim's Time Capsule 2025: A Legacy for Future Generations
Imagine a special box called a time capsule that Sikkim is making!
It's like a message to people in the future.
Inside, they're putting things that show what Sikkim is like today, like pictures, letters, and information about how things are going.
The leaders and regular people wrote notes to be included.
They want people in the future to see what Sikkim was like in 2025.
The time capsule is made to last a long time, and it will be opened in 2075, so people can learn about the past.
Sikkim launched a Time Capsule 2025 to mark 50 years of statehood.
The capsule will be opened on May 16, 2075, celebrating a century of statehood.
It will include artefacts, messages, and cultural and developmental documentation.
The time capsule is designed for long-term preservation using climate-resistant materials.
A public display will show a replica on MG Marg for visitors to view its contents.
