Priyanka Singh special report on Bhutan education – healthcare entrepreneur
Employment: For most Bhutanese graduates and jobseekers, becoming an entrepreneur may not be an enticing career to pursue. The concept of entrepreneurship in Bhutan was realised only very recently, failing to attract more takers.
While being an entrepreneur has benefits, it also has several challenges. In order to decipher the reason why Bhutanese amidst the rising unemployment issues do not consider this sector promising, a panel discussion on education system favourable to entrepreneurship development was held on November 15 as a part of the global entrepreneur week in Thimphu.
Citing several examples and anecdotes, the panellists gathered suggested that it was time the education system of the country thought of a higher level in terms of preparing the students for gainful employment.
Some 80 aspiring entrepreneurs gathered at the discussion were asked who wanted to become a doctor at one point of their life. A few hands went up in the air. “Who wanted to become an astronaut?” The number of hands in the air decreased.
Sangay Tshering, founder and CEO of Druk Host, said that young kids in school need to be taught entrepreneurial skills from the very beginning if they are interested in it.
“If you start programming your mind as a kid, definitely by the time you are older you will be much better,” he said. Sangay Tshering said that in Bhutan kids start school by the age of six and by 21 they complete their graduation.
“What does a 21-year-old have on his mind? Probably to have fun, think about a life partner and so on. And suddenly, you are asked to become an entrepreneur,” he said. “If you haven’t programmed yourself by this age, and when somebody expects you to become an entrepreneur with three or six months of training, this will be difficult.”
The president of the Royal Thimphu College, Thakur Singh Powdyel, said the fact that education has taught an individual to combine the limited number of letters and sounds in the alphabet to form words and structures to express oneself and to communicate is enterprising in itself.
The word entrepreneur has a French origin, meaning adventure. “Education is an adventure,” he said. “A very dynamic education system has helped us reached where we are today. The future is very promising. We have come a long way, but we have much longer way to go.”
Thakur Singh Powdyel added that being entrepreneurial makes people creative. It makes people industrious and able to perform. “When people are able to produce what they need, they become less dependent on others,” he said, adding that entrepreneurship has a very strong correlation with self-reliance and independence of a nation.
Thimphu TechPark CEO, Tshering Cigay Dorji, said that the tertiary education level in Bhutan has taken some positive initiatives towards fostering entrepreneurship.
“In some of the colleges they have incubation cells where graduates who are entrepreneurial can learn. It would be good if these cells can be more active. Most of them are not very active right now,” he said, adding that subjects and programmes in schools oriented towards entrepreneurship can also help.
Sangay Tshering said that Bhutanese people lack the “drive” to pursue entrepreneurship. “This drive comes from passion. We need to go deeper into things, and start appreciating them. If you don’t know how to appreciate things, you won’t have that passion. Success nobody can promise, but drive is what you need.”
He said that in order to popularise the entrepreneurship sector in the country, there should be a few people who are successful in the sector. “We do have a lot of successful people in Bhutan, but we still need a lot more who can inspire people. Not everybody can succeed, but it’s worth trying.”
Sangay Tshering added that most of the Bhutanese graduates and jobseekers fail to make an impression and sell their talents to the employers.
“Entrepreneurship for me is about creation and if you cannot create an image of yourself you cannot sell yourself. And so you cannot sell anything else,” ! A well said phrase.

“There are 3 C’s to success-” Concentration, Consistency and Co-operation”! Ms. Priyanka Singh
APJ Abdul Kalam born on 15 October 1931 and died 27 July 2015 was an Indian scientist who served as the 11th President of India from 2002 to 2007. He was born and raised in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu and studied physics and aerospace engineering. He spent the next four decades as a scientist and science administrator, mainly at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and was intimately involved in India’s civilian space programme and military missile development efforts. He thus came to be known as the “Missile Man of India” for his work on the development of ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology. He also played a pivotal organisational, technical, and political role in India’s Pokhran-II nuclear tests in 1998, the first since the original nuclear test by India in 1974.
APJ Abdul Kalam the Missile Man of India APJ Abdul Kalam 11th President from India APJ Abdul Kalam was an Indian scientist A boy from Rameshwaram who made it to Indian space center APJ Abdul Kalam was a true secularist He almost knew most of Hindu prayers, and mythological stories
A P J Abdul Kalam was just a name to me until sometime in 2000, when I had to necessarily meet him on a personal mission. I was CBI Director, and he Principal Scientific Adviser to the PM. He had his office in South Block and the meeting was arranged courtesy my college classmate T S Vijayaraghavan, Secretary, Defence Production.
Without a fuss or being a man in a hurry, Kalam listened to me with great interest and concern. This was a case of a close relative being harassed by an officer working under Kalam. This was a purely domestic dispute and Kalam did the trick. Through his lower formation he advised the obnoxious government employee to keep off the victim, a humble private sector executive. It worked, and worked most effectively.
I was flabbergasted by the courtesy extended to me and the follow-up which Kalam did much to my astonishment. If I were Kalam I might have asked the complainant to get the grievance redressed through the police and not bother me over what was purely a case of domestic conflict. The episode left an indelible impression on me.
Need I say I try in a very small way what Kalam demonstrated that day. Our lives are worthless if we do not learn from the compassion displayed by others and labour ceaselessly to leave something behind us for people to remember us, fondly and gratefully. Kalam was known for thousands of such acts of kindness to ordinary people who had nothing but their love to return in gratitude.
Kalam assumed office as president two years thereafter. I vaguely remember sending in the perfunctory congratulatory message but did not try to meet him possibly because of the high office he held.
Sometime later I sent him a copy of my Frontline article on police reforms, especially the National Police Commission recommendations. I was absolutely certain that I would not get any response. Much to my surprise I received a brief warm letter from President Kalam acknowledging the article and requesting me to meet him in Delhi to discuss the subject.
I cannot explain why I did not follow up this genuine suggestion. My reservation whether a president could persuade the executive to alter a well-entrenched system? Or was it just an innate shyness and a sense of awe of meeting the country’s first citizen, when I was just a private individual holding no office? I find it hard to speculate.
Subsequently, two or three years ago, I had the privilege of sharing the dais with Kalam on the occasion of the inauguration of a private forensic laboratory in Chennai. He spoke to me briefly and asked how I was. I was touched and felt flattered. He was as bubbly as ever when he spoke from a text on his iPad. Incidentally, this was the first time I ever saw somebody using technology so efficiently!
Kalam’s rise was meteoric. He may not have been the super technologist or scientist as some believed. He did not himself make any such bogus claims. What marked him out was his supremely commendable willingness to learn from others and offer generous praise when it was due. He got the best out of the scientific community. In this sense he was a true leader, who encouraged innovation and never snatched glory from others. You cannot say the same of many of the rest of our scientific community.
“In a world Driven by Inequity, Medicine could be viewed as social justice worker”.
What I will forever remember him for was his personal integrity. This stands out in bold relief during the current times of greed and venality. As a bachelor he may not have needed the money that we all need to run an establishment. But then he had siblings and their families to support. It was unique that he never allowed them to scrounge on him.
It is widely known that when they visited the capital once during his presidency, he paid for their board at Rashtrapati Bhavan. This could be described as eccentricism of the highest order. But then how many of our contemporaries would be scrupulous? Here he shared the quality of another illustrious son of Tamil Nadu, Rajaji, whose austerity as India’s first Governor-General is still remembered.
Above all, the country will remember him as an outstanding secular human being. He was born a Muslim but never flaunted this in whatever he did. He rose above petty religious sentiment and displayed a unique sensitivity to other religions. In this he was closest to being a Hindu: a vegetarian who could recite so much of Hindu scripture.
His fondness for Carnatic classical music is widely known. He adored the music of M S Subbulaksmi and was particularly fond of Saint Thyagaraja’s kriti (song): Entharo mahanubavulu , andariku vandanamulu, which translates as: ‘salutation to all those great men in this world’. This was a Pancharatna kriti that MS rendered with such feeling. Whenever we hear this composition, Kalam will be remembered as one of those great men whom we will offer a reverential ‘vandanamulu’.

Shri Dhananjaya Yeshwant Chandrachud (born 11 November 1959) is currently a sitting judge of the Supreme Court of India, He is the former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court and a former judge of the Bombay High Court.
The judgment says:
“Life and personal liberty are inalienable rights. These are rights which are inseparable from a dignified human existence. The dignity of the individual, equality between human beings and the quest for liberty are the foundational pillars of the Indian constitution…
Life and personal liberty are not creations of the constitution. These rights are recognised by the constitution as inhering in each individual as an intrinsic and inseparable part of the human element which dwells within.”
Please refer order copy to read complete judgement
Tracing the evolution of privacy in various cases and writings, the judgment concludes that:
“Privacy includes at its core the preservation of personal intimacies, the sanctity of family life, marriage, procreation, the home and sexual orientation. Privacy also connotes a right to be left alone. Privacy safeguards individual autonomy and recognises the ability of the individual to control vital aspects of his or her life. Personal choices governing a way of life are intrinsic to privacy. Privacy protects heterogeneity and recognises the plurality and diversity of our culture. While the legitimate expectation of privacy may vary from the intimate zone to the private zone and from the private to the public arenas, it is important to underscore that privacy is not lost or surrendered merely because the individual is in a public place. Privacy attaches to the person since it is an essential facet of the dignity of the human being.”
“To live is to live with dignity. The draftsmen of the constitution defined their vision of the society in which constitutional values would be attained by emphasising, among other freedoms, liberty and dignity.
Dignity is the core which unites the fundamental rights because the fundamental rights seek to achieve for each individual the dignity of existence. Privacy with its attendant values assures dignity to the individual and it is only when life can be enjoyed with dignity can liberty be of true substance… The draftsmen of the constitution had a sense of history− both global and domestic– as they attempted to translate their vision of freedom into guarantees against authoritarian behaviour… The backdrop of human suffering furnished a reason to preserve a regime of governance based on the rule of law which would be subject to democratic accountability against a violation of fundamental freedoms… Hence, it would be an injustice both to the draftsmen of the constitution as well as to the document which they sanctified by constricting its interpretation to an originalist interpretation.”
The judgment makes it clear that privacy is “not an elitist construct”. The judgment has rejected the argument of the attorney general that right to privacy must be forsaken in the interest of welfare entitlements provided by the state. The judgment says:
“The refrain that the poor need no civil and political rights and are concerned only with economic well-being has been utilised though history to wreak the most egregious violations of human rights. Above all, it must be realised that it is the right to question, the right to scrutinise and the right to dissent which enables an informed citizenry to scrutinise the actions of government. Those who are governed are entitled to question those who govern, about the discharge of their constitutional duties including in the provision of socio-economic welfare benefits. The theory that civil and political rights are subservient to socio-economic rights has been urged in the past and has been categorically rejected in the course of constitutional adjudication by this court.”
“Constitutional guarantees cannot be compromised by vicissitudes of technology,” he noted in open court, in what is an emphatic dissent from the majority.
While a dissenting judgement has no force of law, it leaves open the possibility of being referred to a larger bench at a later stage.
Justice Chandrachud’s dissent starts from the legislative process that kick-started the Aadhaar Act, 2016. While the majority view expressed through Justice Sikri’s opinion indicated that there was nothing wrong in present and pushing the Aadhaar Act through Parliament as a money bill, Chandrachud has called it a “fraud on the Constitution”.
“The passing Aadhaar Act as money bill is a fraud on the constitution,” he said, while adding that the decision made by the Lok Sabha speaker to classify it as a money bill could be subject to judicial review.
While Chandrachud held the purpose of the Aadhaar Act to be legitimate, he differed from the majority opinion in noting that there are not enough robust safeguards as to “informed consent and individual rights such as opt-out”.

Chandrachud was born on 11 November 1959.His father Y. V. Chandrachud was the longest serving Chief Justice of India. His mother Prabha was a classical musician. After attending Cathedral and John Connon School, Mumbai and St. Columba's School, Delhi, Chandrachud graduated with honours in Economics and Mathematics from St. Stephen's College, New Delhi in 1979. He aced the Honours' list of the University of Delhi in his final year.[citation needed] He then obtained his LL.B. degree from Delhi University in 1982, followed by an LL.M. degree from Harvard University in 1983. At Harvard, he studied on the prestigeous Inlaks Scholarship, and received the Joseph H Beale prize. He went on to receive his Doctorate of Juridical Sciences (S.J.D.), from Harvard University in 1986. His doctoral thesis was on Affirmative Action; it considered the law in a comparative framework.
Chandrachud studied law at Delhi university in 1982 at a time when few jobs were available to young law graduates. He worked for a while, as a junior advocate assisting lawyers and judges, including some memorable briefings that he did for Fali Nariman. Thereafter he joined Harvard law school. After graduating Harvard, Chandrachud first worked at Sullivan and Cromwell, a law firm. Chandrachud describes this as "sheer fluke" due to the strong pecking order that existed at that time, and a strong bias against Indians and similar developing countries.1986 onwards, national law schools were established in a number of cities in India. He was designated as Senior Advocate by the Bombay High Court in June 1998. From 1998, he was Additional Solicitor General of India until his appointment as a Judge. He became a judge at the Bombay High Court from 29 March 2000 until his appointment as Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court. During this time, he was also Director of Maharashtra Judicial Academy. All through, he practised law at the Supreme Court of India and the Bombay High Court. He was Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court from 31 October 2013 until appointment to the Supreme Court of India. He was appointed Judge of the Supreme Court of India on 13 May 2016.
He continues to be a visiting Professor of Comparative Constitutional law at the University of Mumbai and Oklahoma University School of Law, USA. He has delivered lectures at the Australian National University, Deakin University, Melbourne Law School, Harvard Law School, Yale Law School, William S. Richardson School of Law at the University of Hawaii and the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa. He has been a speaker at conferences organised by bodies of the United Nations including United Nations High Commission on Human Rights, International Labour Organisation and United Nations Environmental Program, the World Bank and Asian Development Bank.
During Justice Chandrachud’s tenure at the Supreme Court, he has delivered a large number of landmark judgements on comparative law, constitutional law, human rights law, gender justice, public interest litigation and criminal law. Foremost among these was his authorship of the lead opinion in Justice K. S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) and Anr. v Union Of India And Ors as part of a unanimous nine-judge Bench decision which affirmed that the right to privacy constituted a fundamental right under the Indian Constitution. His opinion is also celebrated for overruling the ADM Jabalpur case. In Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India, he authored a concurring opinion holding that Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code which criminalised “unnatural” sexual activities was unconstitutional to the extent that it criminalised consensual sex between consenting adults. This historic decision was hailed as a major victory that affirmed the equal protections guaranteed to the LGBTQ community. In Joseph Shine v. Union of India, Justice Chandrachud held Section 497 of the Indian Penal Code which criminalized adultery, to be unconstitutional on the ground of being arbitrary, archaic and violative of the right to equality and privacy. In Indian Young Lawyers Association v. State of Kerala,he concurred with the majority in holding that the practice of prohibiting women of menstruating age from entering the Sabarimala temple was discriminatory and violative of women’s fundamental rights.
Justice Chandrachud has also been the voice of a strong dissent in notable cases. He wrote a dissenting opinion in the Aadhaar case, where the majority upheld the constitutional validity of the largest biometric identity project in the world. Justice Chandrachud held the project to be unconstitutional and violative of fundamental rights. In Jindal Stainless Ltd. v. State of Haryana, a 9-judge Bench decision on the constitutional validity of entry tax imposed by states in India, Justice Chandrachud authored a dissenting opinion. He also wrote a dissent in Abhiram Singh v. CD Commachen, a case concerning the regulation of election speech, and in Santhini v. Vijaya Venkatesh on the question of the validity of video-conferencing in matrimonial and family cases. In Romila Thapar & Ors. v. Union of India & Ors, Justice Chandrachud dissented with the majority which refused to constitute a Special Investigation Team to probe the case concerning the arrest of five activists in connection with the Bhima Koregoan violence and held that in light of the particular circumstances of the case, the constitution of a Special Investigation Team was necessary to ensure a fair and impartial investigation.
He has also authored opinions in the decisions of Common Cause v. Union of India legalising passive euthanasia and living wills, the ruling in Govt. of NCT of Delhi v. Union of India & Anr on the balance of powers between the Lt. Governor and the Chief Minister in the governance of the National Capital Territory, Kalpana Mehta & Ors. v. Union of India & Ors which held that the reliance on Parliamentary Standing Committee Reports by Courts did not constitute a breach of Parliamentary privilege, and in Swapnil Tripathi v. Supreme Court of India, the judgment which allowed live streaming of Indian court cases.

Jaggi Vasudev (born 3 September 1957), commonly known as Sadhguru, is an Indian yogi, mystic and New York Times bestselling author. He founded the Isha Foundation, a non-profit organization which offers Yoga programs around the world and is involved in social outreach, education and environmental initiatives.
Sadhguru was conferred the Padma Vibhushan civilian award by the Government of India on 13 April 2017 in recognition of his contribution towards human advancement.
Transformation and leadership cannot be separated, says Sadhguru, as every action of a leader has the power to directly or indirectly transform the lives of many people. However, he explains, one who wishes to be a great leader must also constantly strive to transform himself.
If one has to become a leader, he has to transform himself into a larger possibility. What was essentially individual concern becomes a little larger concern, in some sense. What is being looked forward to from a leader is that he should be able to see things that other people are not able to see. He need not be a super human being. He need not know everything. Most leaders do not know much, but they are able to see certain things that other people are missing and they are able to put people together for a certain common purpose. That makes them leaders.
Who you are – what your mind is, what your emotions are and how you are right now – will manifest in every action that you perform in the world. And once you are in the position of leadership, every thought and emotion that you generate, and every action that you perform has an impact on many people – maybe a few hundred people or a thousand people or millions of people, depending on what type of leadership you are in. When this is so, it is extremely important that one who wishes to be a leader, in some way, focuses upon how he is within himself too, not just about how he performs in the world.
And once you have moved to a position of responsibility that is having a huge impact on many lives, it would be irresponsible for a leader not to be constantly striving to transform himself first. Essentially leadership also means, either you are transforming people’s lives directly, or you are transforming situations which will in turn lead to transformation of life for other people. So transformation and leadership cannot be separated.
Whether you are leading a company, or a community, or a city or a country, leadership is the art of making people realize that somewhere, deep down, all our aspirations are the same.
The first time I was at the World Economic Forum, people looked at me very resentfully. They said, “What is a mystic doing at an economic conference?” I thought I should speak their own language, so I asked, “What do you do? What is your business?” This person said, “Well, I am working for the second largest computer manufacturer.” I said, “You are doing computers…” I pointed out someone who was in the automobile industry and I said, “He is making cars. Somebody there is making a safety pin. It does not matter whether you are making a computer, car, safety pin or spacecraft, what is the fundamental business?” He said, “What? My business is computer.”
I said, “Your business is not computer. The fundamental business is human well-being, isn’t it? You might have forgotten why you are making a computer. Essentially, you are manufacturing computers to make human life better. Somebody is manufacturing a safety pin to make human life better. The essential business is human well-being, and that is my business too, so that is why I am here.”
What people expect from a leader is that, first of all, he is straight. People do not appreciate you manipulating them. You do not have to be brilliant or a genius or a super human to be a leader. You are straight – your integrity is always there – and you have some vision and insight into a few things. That makes you a leader.
When you are truly inclusive, you will naturally have an insight about everything. Then the right kind of people will naturally gather around you when they see a certain level of integrity in you, and things will happen, according to your capability, of course. You can never equate people’s capabilities. People come with different capabilities, which is fine, but the question is just this: are you able to use yourself to the fullest extent or no? If you yourself are an issue on a daily basis, you cannot handle issues on the outside. If you make yourself in such a way that you are not an issue anymore, now you can attend to the outside issues to the best of your capability, and your leadership will happen effortlessly, without being stressful to you, or to anyone for that matter. That is transformative leadership.

Let us touch the dying, the Poor, the lonely and the unwanted- Ms. Priyanka Singh
Sabarimala is a Hindu pilgrimage centre located at the Periyar Tiger Reserve in the Western Ghat mountain ranges of Pathanamthitta District, Perunad grama panchayat in the state of Kerala. It is one of the largest annual pilgrimages in the world with an estimated 45–50 million devotees visiting every year.
The shrine at Sabarimala is an ancient temple of Ayyappan also known as sasta and Dharmasasta. In the 12th century, Manikandan, a prince of Pandalam dynasty, meditated at Sabarimala temple and became one with the divine. Manikandan was an avatar of Ayyappan.
New Delhi:
The five-judge constitution bench of the Supreme Court today gave a 4-1 verdict allowing women of all ages to enter the Sabarimala temple in Kerala.
Calling the practice to ban entry to women between the ages of ten and fifty at the Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala as “a form of untouchability”, Justice DY Chandrachud said, “Religion cannot be cover to deny women the right to worship.” He went on to say, “To treat women as children of a lesser god is to blink at constitutional morality.”
“Religion is a way of life basically to link life with divinity,” and banning entry of women “violates their rights,” the bench, headed by Chief Justice Dipak Misra said.
Justice Chandrachud also said that “exclusion of women is a violation of right to liberty, dignity and equality.”
“Exclusion of women because she menstruates is utterly unconstitutional,” he said, before highlighting that “popular notion about morality, can be offensive to dignity of others.”
Towards the end of his judgement, Justice Chandrachud said, “Prohibition on women is due to non-religious reasons, and is a grim shadow of discrimination going on for centuries.”
Justices RF Nariman and DY Chandrachud went ahead and concurred with Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justice AM Khanwilkar. Justice Indu Malhotra however, gave a dissenting verdict.
Chief Justice Dipak Misra said that “devotion cannot be subjected to any discrimination” and that “patriarchal notion cannot be allowed to trump equality in devotion.”
Justice Indu Malhotra, the only woman judge in the bench, passed a dissenting judgement and said that issues which have deep religious connotation should not be tinkered with to maintain secular atmosphere in the country.
