Anamika Gurung from Guruthang Busty in Sikkim’s Gyalshing district has received a prestigious invitation from the Government of India to be a special guest at the Independence Day celebrations in New Delhi in 2025. Gurung has also been selected to attend the esteemed President’s At-Home Reception at Rashtrapati Bhavan, where she will proudly represent Sikkim and the Northeast region of India.
The President’s At-Home Reception, hosted by President Droupadi Murmu, is one of the most exclusive events on the national calendar. Anamika’s invitation recognizes her significant contributions as a Young Changemaker and offers her the opportunity to engage with prominent figures, including the President, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Ministers, and other national leaders.
Before the reception, Anamika will take part in the national Independence Day ceremony at Red Fort, where she will witness the flag hoisting and the Prime Minister’s address alongside other dignitaries.
Reflecting on this honor, Anamika Gurung expressed her surprise, stating, “Even though my contributions as a Young Changemaker have never stood out as something big, I’ve always tried to give my best quietly, without seeking attention. But being called to the President’s At-Home Reception… it’s something I never imagined. I owe this to MyBharat Kendra, Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, Government of India, and above all, to my parents for their values and support. This moment belongs to them.”
