Mission

The University is being designed in such a way so as to make it known for academic excellence and research, for its all inclusive institutional character and a strong instrument of regional development and cross-border integration.

The University expects to attract students and faculty members from both within India and the immediate neighbouring countries including Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Myanmar, Nepal and Thailand. This will also supplement the schools and colleges in the region which continue to attract a large number of students from these countries.

The University is trying to bring in the best practices of academic programmes, teaching methods and curriculum designs both from within and outside India. The University is also planning to build infrastructure that is friendly to the fabulous and unparalleled environmental settings of Sikkim and the neighbouring regions.

From the very beginning the Sikkim University is trying to ensure that there is complete transparency, discreet individual accountability, targeted performance and no red-tapeism in this institution.

All its stakeholders would like to make the Sikkim University a corruption free institution and a green institution in terms of its environmental richness and physical architecture.
