1.3 METHODOLOGY The present study as a part of the project on the Carrying Capacity Study of Teesta Basin in Sikkim concerns the socio-economic and socio-cultural aspects of Sikkim. During the course of last four years (2001-2005), the socio-cultural and socio-economic carrying capacity, particularly the quality of life in Sikkim has been studied in great detail in three phases. Since the state of Sikkim has four districts, namely, North, South, East and West, it was convenient to study the socio-cultural and socio-economic carrying capacity of the state district wise. The study on the North district was completed in the first phase; the South district in the second phase, and all Sikkim including the East and West districts was studied during the third and final phase. The methodology adopted in preparing the present report involved intensive use of primary and secondary data. The key areas that were surveyed for the collection of Primary data are Lachen and surrounding villages, North Sikkim (Stage-I), Lachung and surrounding villages, North Sikkim (Stage-II), Chungthang and surrounding villages, North Sikkim (Stage-III), Mangan and surrounding villages, North Sikkim (Stage-IV), and villages within the radius of 10 km (approx) of Dikchu, Singtam, Rangpo in the East and South Districts of Sikkim (Stage-V and VI). In addition to the areas mentioned above a sample survey was also done in the West District. 5 CISMHE The project work required a thorough understanding of the ethno-
