visited Gadeddu Collge of Business Studies on 5 November, 2010.
He met with the faculty and students and spoke on the importance of vibrant democracy and the need to make sure it becomes viable institution. Lyonpo explained how society without hope, nation without hope and people without hope cannot sustain peace and prosperity. “Only viable democracy serves its people with greater interest”, he added.
He attributed the present well being and tranquility to our
monarchs who have worked tirelessly in the unification and consolidation of the
country. He reiterated how every citizen can be responsible in building
democracy viable when it has been gifted with confidence to the people from the
throne.
Lyonpo also spoke of the ministry’s initiative: “Educating
for GNH” as mother of all reforms. Talking on this reform, he mentioned the
strategy that could make Bhutan green, where green can mean anything that supports

aimed at improving the quality of education and not limited just to the schools
but can be equally adopted by the colleges of any GNH University.
