Sikkim is a small Indian state located in the Himalayan mountains, bordered by Nepal, China, Bhutan, and West Bengal. It has a wide range of climates from tropical to alpine due to its varying altitudes. Sikkim experiences a humid subtropical climate in the south and a cold desert climate in the north. The state has scientific importance for its organic farming practices, which aim to keep soil healthy using organic wastes and biofertilizers instead of chemicals. Sikkim also has important wildlife and plant species that need protection.

4. Sikkim is a landlocked Indian state located in the Himalayan mountains. The
state is bordered by Nepal to the west, China's Tibet Autonomous Regionto
the north and east, and Bhutan to the east. The Indian state of West Bengal lies
to the south.
Assembly of Sikkim abolished monarchy and resolved to be a constituent unit
of India. A referendum was held on these issues and majority of the voters
voted yes. On May 15, 1975 the President of India ratified a constitutional
amendment that made Sikkim the 22nd state of India.
According to legend, the Buddhist guru Padmasambhava visited Sikkim in the
8th century AD, introduced Buddhism and foretold the era of the Sikkimese
monarchy. Sikkim's Namgyal dynasty was established in 1642. Over the next
150 years, the kingdom witnessed frequent raids and territorial losses to
Nepalese invaders. In the 19th century, it allied itself with British India,
eventually becoming a British protectorate.

6. Sikkims geographical location with its altitudinal variation
allows it to have tropical, temperate and alpine climatic
conditions within its small area of 7,096 kms. Temperature
conditions vary from sub-tropical in the southern lower parts
to cold deserts in the snowy north. It is also the most humid
region in the whole range of the Himalayas, because of its
proximity to the Bay of Bengal and direct exposure to Southern
monsoon. Sikkim's climate ranges from sub-tropical in the
south to tundra in the north. Most of the inhabited regions of
Sikkim experience a temperate climate, with temperatures
seldom exceeding 28 °C (82 °F) in summer. The average annual
temperature for most of Sikkim is around 18 °C (64 °F).

10. Organic Farming:-Organic farming system in India is not new and is being
followed from ancient time. It is a method of farming system which primarily aimed at
cultivating the land and raising crops in such a way, as to keep the soil alive and in good
health by use of organic wastes (crop, animal and farm wastes, aquatic wastes) and
other biological materials along with beneficial microbes (biofertilizers) to release
nutrients to crops for increased sustainable production in an eco friendly pollution free
environment.
