Statistical Yearbook 2018 of Royal Bhutan Police Is the 7Th Edition of Its Kind, Which Is Published Annually PREFACE The Statistical Yearbook 2018 of Royal Bhutan Police is the 7th edition of its kind, which is published annually. The main purpose of the Statistical Yearbook is to provide in a single volume a comprehensive compilation of available statistics on crime in the country registered with the Royal Bhutan Police. Ever since the compilation of data for the Statistical Yearbook series was initiated in 2012, improvements are consistently made to enhance its contents and coverage. The new data relating to criminal offences and Royal Bhutan Police are added as and when available. Most of the statistics presented in the yearbook are extracted from more detailed database maintained by Crime and Operations Branch. The Crime and Operations Branch collects statistics from various field Divisions and Police Stations in the country, which are further verified for publication. Thimphu Traffic Division, Fire Service Division, and Private Arms Licensing Unit have also contributed their statistics for the publication. We expect that the data in the yearbook will serve as the principal source of information for planners, policy makers, researchers and academicians. More importantly, it is expected that the officers and men of RBP to plan and guide their policing actions to further reduce and prevent crime in future will use statistics in this publication. Through this initiative, we also hope that the maintenance of information and updates will become more systematic and efficient. We expect that there may be certain deficiencies in terms of content and coverage. However, continuous efforts will be made to improve its content, coverage and quality in the future publications. Any comments and suggestions in this regard will be highly appreciated. Chimi Dorji Chief of Police RBP HQ, Thimphu i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT We would like to express the deepest appreciation to the Chief of Police for the singular opportunity, encouragement, moral support and guidance in bringing out the Statistical Yearbook. Without his constant guidance and help, this Statistical Yearbook would not have been possible. Furthermore, we would also like to acknowledge the support of the Deputy Chief of Police (Crime and Operations Branch) and the staff of Crime and Operations Branch in providing the necessary required information in time to complete this Statistical Yearbook of Royal Bhutan Police. We also would like to extend our sincere thanks to the other officers for making contributions in shaping this Statistical Yearbook and making it worthy of publishing. We also solicit our readers’ valuable comments and suggestions to help improve the Statistical Yearbook of Royal Bhutan Police in the future.

The preparation of the report was led by Yeon Soo Kim (Economist, The World Bank). Benu Bidani (Practice Manger, The World Bank) and Chhime Tshering (Director, NSB) provided overall guidance to the team. Helpful comments and technical guidance were provided by Minh Cong Nguyen (Senior Data Scientist, The World Bank) and Paul Andres Corral Rodas (Data Scientist, The World Bank) and are gratefully acknowledged.

Introduction Bhutan has made great strides in reducing poverty over the last decade. The official national poverty rate declined from 23.2 percent in 2007 to 8.2 percent in 2017; most of this improvement came from rural areas with rural poverty decreasing from 30.9 to 11.9 percent during this period. This is particularly remarkable given a largely agrarian economy and the challenges arising from sparse population settlement patterns. However, there are large differences in poverty levels across Dzongkhags. A good understanding of the geographic distribution of poverty is of great importance to guide policies to realize Gross National Happiness – Bhutan’s development philosophy that emphasizes a holistic and inclusive approach to sustainable development.

  • 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.

While there is evidence of increased religious disapproval of pig raising, the consumption of pork, which is mainly met from imports, is increasing every year. Pig development activities are mainly focused on introduction of exotic germplasm. There is an evidence of a slow but steady increase in the population of improved pigs in the country. On the other hand, indigenous pigs still comprise 68 percent of the total pig population but their numbers are rapidly declining. If this trend continues, indigenous pigs will become extinct within the next 10 years. Once lost, this important genetic resource is largely irreplaceable. Therefore, Government of Bhutan must make an effort to protect, promote and utilize indigenous pig resources in a sustainable manner. In addition to the current ex situ conservation programme based on cryopre- servation of semen, which needs strengthening, in situ conservation and a nucleus farm is required to combat the enormous decline of the population of indigenous pigs and to ensure a sustainable source of swine genetic resources in the country.

  • Proceedings and Resolutions of the 70Th Session of the National Assembly of Bhutan
    PROCEEDINGS AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE 70TH SESSION OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY OF BHUTAN. I. OPENING CEREMONY The 70th Session of the National Assembly of Bhutan began with the hallowed tradition of Shugdrel Ceremony on the first day of the ninth month of the year of the Iron Sheep corresponding to 8th October, 1991. In his opening address, the Speaker of the Assembly, Dasho Passang Dorji, welcomed His Majesty the King and all the representatives of the Central Monk Body and Rabdeys, ministers and officials representing the Royal Government, and the representatives of the public. He stated that this most auspicious occasion which had enabled the King, Government and People to assemble in the Great Hall of the National Assembly to deliberate upon matters of great importance to the country was due to the age-old and timeless blessings of the Revered Guru Ugyen Rimpochey, and the most Venerable Lineage of Lamas of the Kagyu tradition established by the great spiritual ruler Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyel to whom the nation would forever be indebted. Secondly, he said it was due to the boundless merit of the nation’s most revered sovereigns, His Majesty the King and the preceding monarchs. Thirdly, it was due to the good fortune, loyalty and unity of all the people. The Speaker reminded the House that since the months of September and October of the year 1990, the ngolops in the south had perpetrated acts of high treason, wanton destruction of life and property and senseless acts of terrorism to shatter the peace and tranquility of the country.

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.
