Sikkim celebrated 45th State Day on 16 May 2020. It was celebrated in a brief function held at Chintan Bhawan premises, Gangtok. The function was graced by Governor of Sikkim Shri Ganga Prasad and Chief Minister Shri Prem Singh Tamang amid lockdown.

In the 17th Century, Sikkim was founded by the Namgyal dynasty. In 1980, it became a princely state of British India.

In 1947, after India became independent, Sikkim continued to enjoy the protectorate status with the Republic of India.
