On the occasion of the Birth Anniversary of the Third Druk Gyalpo, which coincides with the National Teachers’ Day celebration, Mr Gopal, Proprietor of Hotel Dejong, and Mr Dilip Rai, Senior Researcher, contributed a smart television each to Damphu Central School.

We wish to express our sincere gratitude to the alumni community for their generous support. Mr Gopal, himself an alumnus of 1985, has seen all his children graduate from the same institution: his daughter Sonia (Alumna, 2007), son Tyson (Alumnus, 2009), and daughter Sonam Lhamo (Alumna, 2023). Mr Dilip Rai, Senior Researcher at the Irish Food Development Authority in Ireland, is also an alumnus of 1986.

Damphu Central School is deeply moved by this gesture of solidarity. The donation of the smart televisions will undoubtedly enhance the teaching and learning experience, elevating it to an unprecedented level.

The School Agriculture Program (SAP) plays an important role in promoting practical learning and agricultural skills among students. As part of the 2025–2026 academic year, the school successfully carried out a potato cultivation project that demonstrated teamwork, planning, and sustainable practices. The seeds for the project were sown in 20 December 2025 after proper preparation of the land.

The initial stages of the project, including soil preparation, seed selection, and planting, were carried out under the guidance of the SAP Coordinator. The school cooks actively supported these activities, ensuring that the process was completed efficiently. Throughout the growing period, regular maintenance such as watering, weeding, and applying organic manure was carried out to ensure healthy crop growth. The continuous monitoring and joint effort of the SAP Coordinator and school cooks contributed greatly to the success of the cultivation.

The harvesting process took place in April 2026 and was mainly carried out by the student members of the SAP Club. This provided students with valuable hands-on experience and helped them understand the importance of agriculture, teamwork, and responsibility. Their active participation made the harvesting process both educational and productive.

The project resulted in a total yield of 563 kilograms of potatoes, marking a significant achievement for the school. The harvest contributed to the school’s resources and highlighted the effectiveness of collaborative efforts. Overall, the project was a success and demonstrated the value of integrating practical agricultural activities into the school program, encouraging sustainable practices and skill development among students.
