Three days of stories, music and young minds coming together ended with a heartfelt thank-you as Aditya Golay, Member of the Sikkim Legislative Assembly, acknowledged the people behind the Sikkim Arts & Literature Festival 2026. 🔥
An initiative of Chief Minister Prem Singh Tamang (Golay), SALF was presented by the Students’ Welfare Board and the Education Department, Government of Sikkim, and produced by Teamwork Arts—the team behind the Jaipur Literature Festival.
Together, they brought names such as William Dalrymple, Mamang Dai, Indian Ocean and Neeraj Arya’s Kabir Cafe to Gangtok, with Sikkim’s students at the heart of the celebration.
Under Students’ Welfare Board Chairman Sonam Chopel Sherpa, the Board and Education Department helped turn the vision into reality, with valuable contributions from Kunzang Choeki Bhutia, Naresh Chettri and Dr Sabitri Mukhia.
Local collectives Tangible Tangerines and Mind Matters added hands-on creative workshops, while teachers and student coordinators brought young participants from across the state.
At the closing ceremony, Golay’s appreciation extended to those working behind the scenes. From the stage to the workshop tables, SALF’s final applause belonged as much to the people who made it happen as to those who performed.
