DARJEELING: Under the auspices of the Ministry of Defence, the Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI) commemorated a historic double milestone on Thursday – the 110th birth anniversary of the legendary Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and the 71st Everest Day.

The occasion was highlighted by the Flag-In Ceremony of the HMI Divyangjan Expedition, which was virtually inaugurated and chaired by Satyajit Mohanty, Joint Secretary (A/F) DHMI, Ministry of Defence.

During his address, Mohanty commended HMI for its pioneering efforts in empowering Divyangjan (specially-abled individuals) and women within the challenging realm of adventure sports.

He highlighted the institute’s significant contributions to the “Vikshit Bharat”, “Mera Yuva Bharat” and “Nari Shakti” initiatives, highlighting HMI’s dedication to fostering an inclusive and progressive society.

The celebrations also witnessed a vibrant assembly of HMI staff and their families, students from the ongoing mountaineering course, esteemed guests, and members of the Sherpa community.

Together, they paid homage to Tenzing Norgay Sherpa by offering pujas, khadas, and lighting 110 diyas in his honour.

The presence of Jamling Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay’s son, and his family added profound significance to the occasion.

Tenzing Norgay Sherpa, famed for his pioneering ascent of Mount Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953, holds a special place in HMI’s history as its first Director of Field Training.

The celebrations also included the felicitation of former instructors who have devoted many years to HMI, enhancing its prestigious reputation.

Two female HMI instructors – Sulaxchana and Neaha Rai – were also felicitated for their outstanding achievement in the field of adventure sports.

A highlight of the event was a vibrant Sherpa cultural dance performed by a local Sherpa group, showcasing the rich heritage and traditions of the Sherpa community.

The Ministry of Defence official affirmed that full support will be provided for the institute’s future endeavours, ensuring HMI continues to shine as a beacon of adventure and inclusion.
