About Us

About Us

The Voice of Sikkim was founded in 2002 — years before most digital news platforms existed in Northeast India. What began as one of the region’s earliest attempts at online journalism has grown into a trusted daily source of news for readers across Sikkim, the Northeast, and the Indian diaspora abroad.

For over two decades, our position has stayed the same: we are based in Sikkim, reporting on Sikkim, for the people who live here. That ground-level proximity — not a desk in Delhi or Kolkata — is what shapes every story we publish.

Our Editorial Standards

The Voice of Sikkim is editorially independent. We are not owned by, funded by, or affiliated with any political party, corporate group, or government body. Our reporting answers to one standard: accuracy, fairness, and timeliness — explained in detail on our Editorial Standards page.

Every story published under the TVS name goes through verification before it reaches our readers. Where claims are disputed or developing, we say so. Where we get something wrong, we correct it.

Our Newsroom

The TVS News Desk is the editorial backbone of The Voice of Sikkim — reporters, researchers, and contributors working across Sikkim and the wider Northeast to keep readers informed as events unfold. We combine on-the-ground reporting from towns and districts often overlooked by national media with a digital-first approach built for speed, so news from Sikkim reaches readers in India and overseas as it happens — not days later.

Looking Ahead

Sikkim is changing fast — economically, politically, and socially. Our job is to keep pace with it honestly. As The Voice of Sikkim enters its third decade, our mission remains what it was in 2002: be first, be accurate, and stay accountable to the region we serve.
