Sikkim is so underrated—happy to see national attention on this beautiful state. The recognition of Padma awardees is always inspiring, but I hope such visits lead to more development here too.

Nice gesture, but let's not forget that the real heroes are the teachers, doctors, and social workers who don't get awards their entire lives. Respect to all of them.

Wonderful initiative! But I wish more local personalities from Northeast India were recognized in the Padma awards. Deserving talent exists beyond mainstream media.

PM Modi's focus on connecting with people outside Delhi is commendable. Sikkim deserves more attention for its cultural richness and environmental conservation efforts.

A moment of pride for Sikkim! These interactions inspire the youth. I just hope the government also focuses on issues like infrastructure and local employment in such regions.

Padma awards are prestigious, but they need more transparency in selection. Also, PM's visits should be more than photo-ops—should include listening to local problems seriously.
