Civil Service in Bhutan

Although there is no generally accepted definition for the “civil service”, it is recognized as the expanding corps of trained human resources in the service of the state in a given area (Meer, Raadschelders, & Toonen, 2015) . Civil service is the main component of modern government and its influences have become important but civil service in the governmental system has grown more difficult  (West, 2003) . The external relationships of the civil service have been changing with its internal characteristics modification in the political systems generally. However, the total work force comprising the civil service has been growing in most countries (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development , 1999) .

Sustainability of Yak Population in Haa

In the high altitudes of Haa, majority of nomadic inhabitants depend on rearing yaks (Poephagus grunniens or Bos grunniens) for their livelihood.

Thimphu City is loosing its Charm

The capital of this prosperous and happy  nation, its pulse is rising and running, racing and booming with the demands of modern life. For the first timers to this town, traffic delay has become a part of driving along this busy street and zebra crossings are clogged with people running to catch their own destination.

And like the roads, drains too are bunged with wastes and the city is no more clean with words of 'KEEP BHUTAN CLEAN AND GREEN' everywhere. Like any other city, Thimphu city is no more a place of peace and solitude. The silence of the city once had, has be...
