Running late for the orientation program was one thing, but not knowing the building's location after spending two years on the same campus was even more embarrassing.

We finally made it to the venue, only to be greeted by a few stares from the group who already started to engage for the day's program.

A little embarrassed, we quietly found our designated seats.

As we embarked on this new journey, we reminded ourselves that orientation programs like these are common around the world. Perhaps, we were briefed on a range of essential topics most importantly, how to navigate the campus smoothly throughout our research journey.

We were briefed on the key locations on campus, the main contact person and the important offices and facilities including the library, student centre and medical clinic.

What truly impressed me was the energy of the presenters, their warmth and lively nature in bringing the whole range of topics for the discussion. Indeed, they already made the beginning of the academic journey feel both exciting and reassuring.

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?

She told all the parents that every setback offers an equivalent benefit ...

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.

My Concept Of Central School

Everyone felt happy in the beginning with the inception of central school idea and few happy moment to those who've been profited. Whereas, it was not so pleasing for some – students, teachers and parents. My concept of central school is different. Different in the sense, I want it to be a 'MODEL SCHOOL' . Why can't we merge the same idea into a 'Model School' with better policies, correct curriculum, best teachers and facilities in places? Here I'm not to aver among students but to put a sense of competition and the values of education. According to our present population and the school going child ratio it is not necessary to earn many central school in a dzongkhag. Let us plan for less, better and reliable school for sustainable Bhutan. How far shall we wait for 'DONATION' after 'DONATION' just to run our system of education or any other offices or are we just for donor driven system to be in place? What if...
