Recognized for Service to the Tsa-Wa-Sum
Driven by our mission to foster an inclusive and harmonious society, Druk Kirat Chhoetshog is deeply honored to receive the prestigious award from the Chhoedey Lhentshog. This milestone recognizes our collective dedication to serving the Tsa-Wa-Sum through four core pillars: promoting national harmony via historic joint prayer ceremonies with the Zhung Dratshang; preserving cultural heritage by integrating community traditions with Driglam Namzha courses; offering compassionate welfare support by facilitating the dignified transportation of the deceased to their ancestral homes; and advancing environmental stewardship through volunteer tree-planting initiatives guided by Gross National Happiness (GNH). This achievement belongs to our entire community as we continue to ensure our unique heritage thrives in perfect alignment with Bhutan’s national values.
