ELEVENTH FIVE YEAR PLAN (July 2013-June 2018) TRASHIGANG DZONGKHAG Eleventh Five Year Plan Document © Copyright Gross National Happiness Commission (2013) Published by: Gross National Happiness Commission, Royal Government of Bhutan. ISBN 978-99936-55-01-5 HIS MAJESTY THE KING JIGME KHESAR NAMGYEL WANGCHUCK 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, 1 7th December 2012, in Thimphu. 2.

Since then, the local governments have been formulating their Five Year Plans based on the development priorities identified by the communities at the Gewog level. The introduction of the Gewog-based planning process was followed by “fiscal decentralization” in the Tenth Plan. The allocation of annual grants to local governments based on the resource allocation formula that took into account principles of equity, transparency and objectivity was launched. The new system of allocating resources to the local governments provided greater predictability and offered higher flexibility in prioritization and programming of activities. The devolution of authority has enhanced capacities of the local governments in planning, prioritization and fiscal management. Further, to bring clarity on the roles of various levels of the government in the delivery of public services at the local level and to facilitate the distribution of resources between the centre and the local governments, the division of responsibilities framework was developed in 2012. The division of responsibilities framework1 , clearly delineates responsibilities among the central agencies, Class “A” Thromde, Dzongkhags and Gewogs guided by the ‘principle of subsidiarity’. The ‘principle of subsidiarity’ is that provision of public goods and services should take place at the lowest level of the government and that the centre should be involved only when the lower levels of the government cannot provide the goods and services efficiently. The division of responsibility framework will be reviewed during the Eleventh Plan mainly to assess the capacity of the local governments to shoulder increased responsibilities and to build their capacities accordingly. In addition to the broad based socio-economic development activities, targeted poverty intervention programmes such as the Rural Economy Advancement Programme (REAP) and the National Rehabilitation Programme (NRP) were initiated in the Tenth Plan to accelerate poverty reduction and address disparities at the local level. Accordingly, 13 poorest villages2 were supported through REAP I and around 109 villages have been identified for implementation under REAP II in the Eleventh Plan. 1 Refer www.gnhc.gov.bt/guidelines-local-government/ 2Thangdokha, Dramekha and Ngatsena - Haa, Sanu Dungtoe - Samtse, Mandokha & Choleykha - Chukha, Lopokha - Wangdue Phodrang, Lauri - Samdrup Jongkhar, Ungar - Lhuentse, Samcholing - Trongsa, Reti - Sarpang, Lamtang - Zhemgang, Pam & Chaibi - Mongar. Under the NRP, 44 households in Khenadrang, Pemagatshel were rehabilitated. While the rehabilitation at Nye, Lhuentshe (55 households); Bebji, Haa (83 households); Borangmo, Pemagatshel (51 households) and Dawathang, Samdrup Jongkhar (31 households) are ongoing, the planning and feasibility study for Tanzama, Pemagatshel and Serzhong, Tsirang respectively have been initiated under the programme. Efforts are also underway to identify other communities for rehabilitation given that this programme benefits not only the beneficiary communities but also the government through avoidance of the higher costs associated with provision of pubic goods and services for reaching the unreached. 3.1 Planning Process The local government plans were formulated based on the Local Government Act 2009, the Eleventh Plan preparation guidelines, the Local Development Planning Manual, the Thromde Structural Plans, the Local Area Plans (LAPs) and the indicative five year resource envelope.

  • Geographical and Historical Background of Education in Bhutan

    Geographical and Historical Background of Education in Bhutan

    Chapter 2 Geographical and Historical Background of Education in Bhutan Geographical Background There is a great debate regarding from where the name of „Bhutan‟ appears. In old Tibetan chronicles Bhutan was called Mon-Yul (Land of the Mon). Another theory explaining the origin of the name „Bhutan‟ is derived from Sanskrit „Bhotanta‟ where Tibet was referred to as „Bhota‟ and „anta‟ means end i. e. the geographical area at the end of Tibet.1 Another possible explanation again derived from Sanskrit could be Bhu-uttan standing for highland, which of course it is.2 Some scholars think that the name „Bhutan‟ has come from Bhota (Bod) which means Tibet and „tan‟, a corruption of stan as found in Indo-Persian names such as „Hindustan‟, „Baluchistan‟ and „Afganistan‟etc.3 Another explanation is that “It seems quite likely that the name „Bhutan‟ has come from the word „Bhotanam‟(Desah iti Sesah) i.e., the land of the Bhotas much the same way as the name „Iran‟ came from „Aryanam‟(Desah), Rajputana came from „Rajputanam‟, and „Gandoana‟ came from „Gandakanam‟. Thus literally „Bhutan‟ means the land of the „Bhotas‟-people speaking a Tibetan dialect.”4 But according to Bhutanese scholars like Lopen Nado and Lopen Pemala, Bhutan is called Lho Mon or land of the south i.e. south of Tibet.5 However, the Bhutanese themselves prefer to use the term Drukyul- the land of Thunder Dragon, a name originating from the word Druk meaning „thunder dragon‟, which in turn is derived from Drukpa school of Tibetan Buddhism. Bhutan presents a striking example of how the geographical setting of a country influences social, economic and political life of the people.

    6 Dzongs of Bhutan - Architecture and Significance of These Fortresses

    6 Dzongs of Bhutan - Architecture and Significance of These Fortresses Nestled in the great Himalayas, Bhutan has long been the significance of happiness and peace. The first things that come to one's mind when talking about Bhutan are probably the architectures, the closeness to nature and its strong association with the Buddhist culture. And it is just to say that a huge part of the country's architecture has a strong Buddhist influence. One such distinctive architecture that you will see all around Bhutan are the Dzongs, they are beautiful and hold a very important religious position in the country. Let's talk more about the Dzongs in Bhutan. What are the Bhutanese Dzongs? Wangdue Phodrang Dzong in Bhutan (Source) Dzongs can be literally translated to fortress and they represent the majestic fortresses that adorn every corner of Bhutan. Dzong are generally a representation of victory and power when they were built in ancient times to represent the stronghold of Buddhism. They also represent the principal seat for Buddhist school responsible for propagating the ideas of the religion. Importance of Dzongs in Bhutan Rinpung Dzong in Paro, home to the government administrative offices and monastic body of the district (Source) The dzongs in Bhutan serve several purposes. The two main purposes that these dzongs serve are administrative and religious purposes. A part of the building is dedicated for the administrative purposes and a part of the building to the monks for religious purposes. Generally, this distinction is made within the same room from where both administrative and religious activities are conducted.

FORMALIZING THE INFORMAL: DEVELOPMENT AND ITS IMPACTS ON TRADITIONAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN BHUTAN Stephan Sonnenberg* INTRODUCTION Bhutan is a small landlocked country with less than a million inhabitants, wedged between the two most populous nations on earth, India and China.1 It is known for its stunning Himalayan mountain ranges and its national development philosophy of pursuing “Gross National Happiness” (GNH).2 This paper argues, however, that Bhutan should also be known for its rich heritage of traditional dispute resolution. That system kept the peace in Bhutanese villages for centuries: the product of Bhutan’s unique history and its deep (primarily Buddhist) spiritual heritage. Sadly, these traditions are today at risk of extinction, victims—it is argued below—of Bhutan’s extraordinary process of modernization.
