Governance of the state of Sikkim is one of the key issues that we take pride in for being very, very good. It goes down to the level of the panchayats. In three districts we have panchayati raj in full flow. Interestingly, in north Sikkim, we have the Zumsa system of local governance. It is a unique system of self governance where all local disputes are settled by a totally representative body of the village. (As told by Prem Das Rai, a member of Lok Sabha from Sikkim)
