Omi Gurung

We Welcome our special guest for today, 'The Green Man of Sikkim', Omi Gurung.

Thank You so much for inviting me on your programme



Well, I draw my inspiration from the surrounding. But my parents and teachers have played a vital role in my success.



So, are you ready for answering questions?

I think so...



So, what has inspired you to work for our environment?





What kind of products are you making these days?





I have recently opened Green Gangtok, an eco friendly boutique and recently, I have been designing home décor products which follows the 7 R’s.





Hmm, interesting!

Pls tell us about your achievements.

Umm, I have been one of the 50 voices of young environmentalists. I was one of the “Defenders of the Planet Earth. I am also an awardee of

Karam Veer Chakra.

Pls tell us about the 7 Days 7 Ideas project.

It was about reusing old things and showing creativeness. Making something beautiful from what is discarded is a challenge and shows creativity.

What support have you got from the city?

I received support asemails, letters and phone calls. It is nice to receive a call from stranger who supports me.

So now, we have almost come to an end of this event.

What would you consider yourself, a writer or a fashion designer?

Umm, it’s a bit confusing but it’s really tough to just consider myself as just one person. I would like to consider myself as an artist.

Thank You so much for joining us!

My Pleasure!
