Empowerment Over Entitlement: We Stand by Our Values and 14-Year Commitment

Dear Editor,

Till date, Positude has never promised cash prizes as part of our initiatives. Our focus has always been on building confidence, nurturing talent, and providing meaningful platforms that contribute to the growth and empowerment of women.

We respect that a titleholder may feel dissatisfied or perceive a situation as unfair, and we acknowledge everyone’s right to their feelings. However, undermining the worth of an organization that has dedicated 14 years of hard work, integrity, and unwavering commitment to the growth and upliftment of women is deeply disheartening.

It is also important to note that within eight months of holding the Miss Universe 2nd Runner-Up title, she participated in multiple events and pageants without prior notice or communication with the organizers, which goes against the values of transparency, respect, and professionalism that we uphold.

A true queen leads with grace, dignity, and integrity and does not diminish collective efforts or speak behind others.

Your’s etc,

Bijay Subba,

Proprietor, Positude

Organiser of Miss Sikkim Pageant
