 In ancient times, the Lepcha’s of Sikkim were said to
use yarn spun out of stinging nettle (sisnu) plant to
weave clothes.Today cotton and woollen yarn are
used together with vegetable dyes and synthetic
colours. Lepcha weaves or ‘thara’ is woven in vertical

used to make tharas which are used for making
bedspreads, bags, belts, curtains, cushion covers,
table mats, tray cloths etc, apart from their
traditional dress.

11. BENEFITS OF ORGANIC FARMING:-
 organic farming, agricultural system that uses ecologically
based pest controls and biological fertilizers derived largely
from animal and plant wastes and nitrogen-fixing cover
crops. Modern organic farming was developed as a response
to the environmental harm caused by the use of chemical
pesticides and synthetic fertilizers in conventional
agriculture, and it has numerous ecologic al benefits.
 Compared with conventional agriculture, organic farming
uses fewer pesticides, reduces soil erosion, decreases
nitrate leaching into groundwater and surface water, and
recycles animal wastes back into the farm. These benefits
are counterbalanced by higher food costs for consumers and
generally lower yields. Indeed, yields of organic crops have
been found to be about 25 percent lower overall than
conventionally grown crops, although this can vary
considerably depending upon the type of crop.

13. NATURAL DISASTER PREPAREDENESS - SST
 The State of Sikkim is very vulnerable to natural calamities considering that it falls
under the Seismic Zone IV/V and records one of the highest annual rainfalls in the
country. Every year a noticeable number of people are affected by natural disasters
among which landslides, floods and river bank erosion are most frequent.
 The Department is operating the State Disaster Relief Fund to which the Centre and
State Share 90% and 10% of the allocation respectively earmarked for each financial
year by the Finance Commission. The Department has been in the forefront in
providing timely relief to the victims of all types of natural calamities that have
occurred in the state in the form of ex gratia and Gratuitous relief payment. This
relief is doled out from the Office of the District Collectors, Sub divisional Offices
and in recent times from the Block Administrative Centre also as per standing Items
and Norms of expenditure from the SDRF.
 Further, we have been providing funds to most of the line Departments to take up
immediate repair and restoration work of infrastructure damage due to natural
calamities.
