National Essay Contest
Theme: Our Common Future in a Changing World
Inspired by His Majesty the King’s emphasis on the importance of leveraging technologies to overcome our challenges as a nation in various Royal addresses and the two recent Kashos on Civil Service and Education Reform, Thimphu TechPark is initiating a national essay contest to celebrate our beloved King’s 41st Birth Anniversary on 21st February 2021 and raise awareness on the oncoming changes driven by technologies. We intend to make this an annual event henceforth.
“The world is changing rapidly. We cannot afford to avoid what we don’t yet understand and hope for the best. Such an attitude will cost us our national objective of self-reliance.” –His Majesty the King.
