DDUDF inaugurates new office in Darjeeling

Darjeeling Dooars United Development Foundation DDUDF
The Darjeeling Dooars United Development Foundation, a newly formed apolitical body, today established its main office in Darjeeling town. The DDUDF is the brainchild of Mahendra P Lama, former vice chancellor of Sikkim University, who is contesting in the upcoming general elections from Darjeeling as an independent candidate.
Bereft of any political allegiance, the organisation’s primary agenda is of achieving a separate state and also the all-round development of both the Darjeeling hills and the Dooars.
Speaking today from the new office located in the Upper Clubside Stand, Lama said, “The DDUDF is a noble, innovative and comprehensive initiative by the members of civil society, and social, political and professional formations of Darjeeling district and the Dooars. It has been born out of the need to enhance the level of consciousness and standard of debate and discourse on politics, development and environmental, educational, professional and other critical issues that concern Darjeeling and the Dooars.”
Lama, who is also the president of the organisation, said the DDUDF will act as a robust, forward-looking and independent forum and also as a think-tank for all people to participate and contribute to issues of social, cultural, political, economic and environmental and other public concerns and interests. The DDUDF will also propagate and advocate the most modern yet appropriate strategies, traditional yet time tested frameworks and cost-effective and all-inclusive approaches to political, social, economic and environmental, public and national issues.
The DDUDF has set a 25-point objective to address the issues of securing for the people of Darjeeling and the Dooars a ‘purna swaraj’ (complete self governance) in the form of a separate state within the constitutional framework of the country. It will aim to bring forth the critical issue of identity of Indian Gorkhas at the highest decision making bodies both at the state and national levels and come up with a durable and permanent solution. The DDUDF will also ensure adequate representation of the people of Darjeeling and the Dooars in policy-making bodies such as the state assembly, Parliament and other regional and national institutions.(EOIC)
