Look inward, the time has come!
There were warnings—Covid-19 would come to our doors.
When the whole nation, led by His Majesty The King is fighting the pandemic, we need to think beyond the borders.
Keeping up with change
This week, the government of India approved a new education policy that paves way for radical reforms in the education sector. The policy, in a nutshell, lays the foundation for transforming the education system to suit the needs of the 21st century. From emphasising on learning outcomes and making education relevant, the policy is received well.
A bold and practical decision
The government has risked getting bashed from all corners in taking a decision to allow the sale of tobacco in the country even with a law that says sale and distribution of tobacco is not allowed.

Emerging needs
Bhutan is still dealing with a complex reality: the limited job market. The notion that the government should create jobs for all has not helped. There are no desk jobs, an image of government job, for everyone. The government cannot absorb all the job seekers.
In times of disasters
Four dedicated servicemen lost their lives trying to save the lives of five people. Sadness gripped the nation as the news reached people. But with the news of the tragic event sinking in, the spirits and thoughts of the Bhutanese are with the four soldiers who lost their lives in the line of duty.
