Building the Legacy

I have always felt a strong connection to my homeland, which has played a key role in shaping who I am today.

I am excited to see the recent progress in our nation, especially in areas like architecture, education, and discipline—ideas I had discussed with students and friends long ago.

National service is, in my opinion, essential to building our country. Although I had envisioned it a bit differently, it has evolved in a more significant way than I imagined seven years ago.

Looking ahead to the next 100 years, it's inspiring to think about the stories we will tell future generations about Bhutan's progress. We will leave behind not just a secure and strong nation, but one that is advanced and forward-thinking.

The introduction of programs like Desuung training, and now Gyalsung for high school graduates (September 2024), is especially meaningful. These initiatives reflect where we started and where we hope to go as a nation. For a small country like ours, this level of progress is truly amazing.

What surprised me even more was that the 66th batch of Desuung training is now being offered to senior citizens (aged 55-75). I never expected this opportunity to arise, but it's a remarkable chance for those individuals.

This really shows how much thought and care our King puts into the well-being of our nation.

Golden Words Of King Jigme Singye Wangchuck

King Jigme Singye Wangchuck "...in particular, speaking for myself; my sorrow in having lost my own father is indeed very great. What is more the country has lost a king whose kind has till now never been known..." ( Royal proclamation to the people of Bhutan, July 26, 1972) "...as far as you, my people, are concerned, you should not adopt the attitude that whatever is required to be done for your welfare will be done entirely by the government.

The Story of Malika Chand.

There lived a schoolteacher named Malika Chand. She loved teaching and treated her students as she would, her own children. Nurturing their potential with great kindness. Her perennial motto was, 'Your, I can is more important than your, IQ .' She was known throughout her community as a person who lived to give. Who selflessly served anyone in need? Sadly, her beloved school, which had stood as a silent witness to the delightful progress of generations of children, succumbed to the flames of a fire set by an arsonist one night. All those in the community felt this great loss. But as time passed by, their anger gave way to apathy and they resigned themselves to the fact that their children would be without a school. "What about Malika?" "She was different, an eternal optimist if there ever was one. Unlike everyone around her, she perceived opportunity in what had happened. She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...
