The 11th Five Year Plan (2013-2018), in the awake of the trade deficit and the increase in the global food prices, has placed the sector at the center of the development agenda. The sector has goals to achieve a green economic growth, inclusive social development, poverty alleviation and climate smart sustainable management and utilization of natural resources through the following objectives: Enhance food and nutrition security Enhance sustainable rural livelihood Accelerate RNR sector growth by 4 percent Promote sustainable management and utilization of natural resources Bhutan has been able to meet the current expenditures through domestic revenue however the major developmental agenda as capital investment are still determined by the availability of the external development partners support. Apart from the financial assistance, other elements such as expertise, human resource development, technologies, equipment and other technical assistance are also crucial for the sector to achieve the 11th FYP goals. Therefore, building global partnership and capacity have been very useful and beneficial for our Ministry. Towards achieving the goals and objectives of the 11th FYP the contribution and support from the donor agencies such as International Fund for Agriculture development (IFAD), European Union (EU), Japan, Government of India (GoI), Global Environment Fund (GEF), World Bank (WB), Helvetas Swiss Inter- cooperation, SDC, DANIDA, WWF, BTFEC, FAO, UNDP, BTFEC, Australia, Austria, UNIDO and many others have been very vital and would continue to be so. 4 | P a g e During the 10th Five Year Plan about 61% of the capital budgets have been supported by the Donor agencies. Therefore, in order to allow the decision makers and the planners to prioritize and mobilize the resources in the RNR Sector and also to allow the donors to have a clear picture of how their support is being managed and utilized, the Policy and Planning Division of the Ministry since 2005, has started consolidating all the donor support projects for the RNR Sector. “A Profile of Donor Supported Projects in the Renewable Natural Resource (RNR) Sector 2015” is the fourth of its kind developed with financial support from the European Union (EU- RNR SSP). We hope the information shared through this publication would once again prove useful for our decision makers and the donors on how the support and contribution from the donor agencies are used by the Ministry. Lastly, we would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the continued support of our development partners and look forward for their continued cooperation and commitments in achieving the goals and aspiration of our Ministry.

    Voices of Bhutanese Youth: Through Their Dreams, Experiences, Struggles and Achievements Lham Dorji The Centre for Bhutan Studies Narratives Note The voices of the Bhutanese youths have not been ever recorded- this publication, therefore, contains individual stories and views of young people on wide-ranging issues pertaining to them. The Centre Bhutan Studies conducted unstructured interviews of 209 young people across twelve Dzongkhags, focusing on the individual experiences, problems and perceptions about life. This document is intended to provide the interested groups and organizations with thoughts and views of young people on a range of issues related to youth. In some cases, the names of these young people have been modified as to avoid any blame against them for sharing their feelings with us. Part A contains the youth narratives that cover various themes on youth: education, employment, family-related problems, dreams and other challenges. These narratives are recorded as related to the interviewers by the respondents. I would like to thank Tshering C. Dorji for editing this report. Part B includes the analysis of the narrative report. It mainly focuses on problems faced by the children of poor families in relation to education and employment. I am thankful to Yeshi Dema for doing this analysis. Part C contains a report based on the questionnaires survey of 942 young people in 12 Dzongkhags by Dorji Penjore. This report contains the issue of youth and their relations with the families. Save the Children, Bhutan Program, funded the Youth Study Project. The Centre acknowledges with thanks the gracious support of Save the Children, one of the international organizations, which works towards the welfare of the Bhutanese children.

ISBN 978-99936-55-01-5 2 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag HIS MAJESTY THE KING JIGME KHESAR NAMGYEL WANGCHUCK 3 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag 4 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag Our Nation has seen great socio-economic growth but it is more important that we have growth with equity. We must raise, with all our effort, the less fortunate so that they may, at the earliest, begin to partake in the opportunities brought by modernization and progress. The government has provided education to our youth. But for the nation to prosper for all time, a sound education must be succeeded by access to the right jobs and responsibilities, so that our youth may bloom as individuals and at the same time serve their Nation well. The recent Rupee shortage is a serious problem. I feel it is a reminder that, as a Nation, we must exercise our traditional sense of caution and work even harder as we address the challenges of the time. For no matter what challenges lie ahead, it is only the Bhutanese citizen who can protect and safeguard Bhutan. - His Majesty The King’s address to the nation during the 105th National Day celebrations, 17th December 2012, in Thimphu. 5 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag 6 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag དཔལ་辡ན་འ宲ུ་ུག筴་⼍ Royal Government of Bhutan PRIME MINISTER 7 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag དཔལ་辡ན་འ宲ུ་ུག筴་⼍ Royal Government of Bhutan PRIME MINISTER 8 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag དཔལ་辡ན་འ宲ུ་ུག筴་⼍ Royal Government of Bhutan PRIME MINISTER 9 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag 10 Eleventh Five Year Plan - Lhuentse Dzongkhag TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

  • Post-Zhabdrung Era Migration of Kurmedkha Speaking People in Eastern Bhutan *
    Post-Zhabdrung Era Migration of Kurmedkha Speaking People in Eastern Bhutan * Tshering Gyeltshen** Abstract Chocha Ngacha dialect, spoken by about 20,000 people, is closely related to Dzongkha and Chökey. It was Lam Nado who named it Kurmedkha. Lhuntse and Mongar dzongkhags have the original settlement areas of Kurmedkha speaking ancestors. Some families of this vernacular group migrated to Trashigang and Trashi Yangtse in the post-Zhabdrung era. The process of family migrations started in the 17th century and ended in the early part of the 20th century. This paper attempts to trace the origins of Kurmedkha speaking population who have settled in these two dzongkhags. Kurmedkha speakers and their population geography Bhutanese administrators and historians used the north- south Pelela mountain ridge as a convenient geographical reference point to divide the country into eastern and western regions. Under this broad division, Ngalop came to be regarded as inhabitants west of Pelela, and those living east of Pelela are known as Sharchop.1 The terms Sharchop and Ngalop naturally evolved out of common usage, mostly among * This paper is an outcome of my field visits to Eastern Bhutan in 2003. ** Senior Lecturer in Environmental Studies, Sherubtse College, Royal University of Bhutan. 1 From the time of the first Zhabdrung until recent years, people of Kheng (Zhemgang), Mangdi (Trongsa), Bumthang, Kurtoe (Lhuntse), Zhongar (Mongar), Trashigang, Trashi Yangtse and Dungsam (Pema Gatshel and Samdrup Jongkhar) who live in east of Pelela were all known as Sharchop, meaning the Easterners or Eastern Bhutanese. However, word has lost its original meaning today. The natives who speak Tshanglakha or Tsengmikha are now called Sharchop.
