Who is good leader

 A person is defined by the quality one posses wherever he or she goes. The great leaders never bring personal life when he is in the office and similarly he does not take the official life when he is with his family. However, such leaders are few and scarce.

Be it in any office, we go, we find that
the officer is mood off not because he has problem performing his duties but because he has brought the family problem in the office. It is even more ridiculous if he or she ever uses these personal problems to his or her subordinates through loss of temper, scolding or frowning at them without their faults.

These are some of the prominent features in the Bhutanese Civil Service, many low ranking officials said that ultimately they have to bear the brunt of the personal problems of their bosses, because their boss was not in good terms with his wife or her husband. Many cite that these are more prominent among the older generation of the leaders and decision makers. Although there is no research on how the bosses harass their sub-ordinates when they have problem at home.

The inability to differentiate between the professionalism and personal life is the worst part of the life for any one. This is because, he or she not only bring home problem in the office, but also take the office problem at home. In this way, such leaders never led a healthy and peaceful life.

If one can control personal life in the office and vice versa at home, that person could become the greatest leaders in the society.

Therefore, development or habituating oneself to be able to control one own ego, emotions and express these feelings at the right place and right time is of paramount  importance.

Can Bhutan Ban the sale of Alcohol? A mere perspective from layman point of view

Bhutan was known as the Last Shangrila in the past and today she is predominantly known to the rest of the world as the Land of Gross National Happiness. Culture and traditions are intricate parts of the GNH and more so as one of the pillars of GNH. Marchang is among
all the culture the most important part of living culture to show to the outside world. And alcohol is thus, an important part of culture in the Bhutanese Society for centuries. Today, Bhutan is challenged by the very culture, putting the pressure on the government and the policy makers to rethink on this culture.

Alcohol is served in almost all functions and festivals and adds more taste to these events. In fact no other items or Bhutanese menu can replace alcohol. On the other hand alcohol has also been responsible for many crimes including murder, rape and battery. it is also responsible for many deaths in the hospitals across the country incurring huge financial loss on the primary health care system in the country. Last year alone, more than…. people died of alcohol related diseases such as liver cirrhosis and other lifestyle diseases. The reports from media and other relevant sources reveal that over … percent of the juvenile crimes and drug abuse started under the influence of alcohol. It also seen that the matrimonial cases in court overtook all other cases and majority of the cases are known to have been caused due to consumption of alcohol.

Considering all these facts, recently media reported that Department of Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs suspended the issuance of bar license till the National Strategy for Alcohol consumption is drawn. Yet, today there are reports that there are over 700 licensed bars in the capital alone. And it is further added by other restaurants and general shops selling alcohol without licenses.
preparing such a document is not an easy way but it is definitely going to be a daunting and challenging job whoever draws such strategy.

The issue is really complex when it comes to ground reality. The culture baggage it carries, the importance of being food item in almost all the Bhutanese meals, the quota or subsidized rate of these items for many Bhutanese including the armed forces, some senior civil servants and others who are residents of Bhutan entitled for such entitlements.

Politics in Bhutan

A few years ago, citizens resisted yet their leaders wanted his subordinates to rule the country. The people accepted the rarest gift in the world with much reluctance.

to a large extent. Bhutanese felt the hitch of the so called democracy. Right after the election, some people even approached the throne to take back the power and continue to rule the country.

Since then, there were numerous changes. The changes ranged from policies to implantation strategies.

The policy focused more on result based and so did the implementation strategies.

The government started to introduce various means to mobilize funds from within and abroad.

The funds came and their focuss went from strengthening of the Civil Service to Community Services.

By the start of the Fiscal Year 2010-2011, government diverted all its capital resources from buying government vehicle, stationeries  to   building roads, telecommunication facilities and electrifying the communities.

Thus, government is now focused on these priority areas instead of the all areas. Thus, lets see what the next plan is stored in future.

Tobacco Tobacco Tobacco

Last Friday, I attended the First ever stakeholders meeting on the Tobacco since the enactment of the Tobacco Control Act 2010.
In the opening remarks, His Excellency, the Minister of
Health who is also the Chairperson of the Tobacco Control Board said that unlike other Act, Tobacco Control Act should be more easy to implement. He cited that this is because Bhutan has already  drawn rules and regulations in place to ban the sale of any tobacco products since 2004. He said this Act is only a tooth that was wanted by all the law enforcers to curve the illegal sale of tobacco products in the country.

However, considering the present Act, there are lot more to be done. In the past, only products can be seized and at the most, the licenses of the shops or retailers can be canceled and fined. Today, the Act has more. People can be put behind the bars if found smoking in public places and in any place if they are caught smoking without having any receipt from the customs.
Further, the discotheques and bars, people are prohibited to smoke or chew tobacco products. This means, the roles and responsibilities among the law enforcers are very huge and challenging.

In nutshell, the implementation of Tobacco Control Act is much waited to be seen .....
