This distinguished group of Sarpanches, comprising Pema Sherpa, Tsewang Phurba Sherpa, Pemtok Lepcha, Lhakit Lepcha, and Sonam Gyatso Lachenpa, each representing their respective villages, have been chosen to grace the occasion as special guests of honor. 

A collective of 404 Sarpanches representing 662 dynamic villages, encompassing a diverse cross-section of society, have been selected among a larger assembly of nearly 1,700 individuals, who will converge to witness the live address by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi from the iconic monument's ramparts. This initiative to involve individuals from varied backgrounds, professions, and regions aligns seamlessly with the Government's overarching vision of 'Jan Bhagidari' - a shared partnership to collectively shape the nation's future.
