We must continue to honour selfless acts of public service - whether from India or from abroad - to further propagate the ideas and contributions of Swargadeo Chaolung Sukapha towards nation building, good governance and public welfare. The great unifier of Assam is one of those rare historical figures, whose deeds continue to inspire generations of administrations, remains one of the towering historical personality in the whole of South East Asia. We must celebrate Swargadeo Sukapha beyond the realms of Assam so that more and more people celebrate his deeds and get inspired by his ideas of inclusive governance.”
