People of Bhutan
are the lucky to be born in this country under the reign of dharma kings. His Majesty
the fourth king’s birth on 11th November 1955 to this land of
pristine beauty was indeed an answer to our prayers and prophesies. Trying to
write a usual short birth day message on this auspicious day to His Majesty is
a challenge. There is just too much to write.
His Majesty means
so much to us. Today it is hard to believe that our country has reached so far under
his golden reign of over three decades of his selfless, perseverance and
innovative action.
He is an extra
ordinary monarch. His selfless and dedicated acts for the welfare of country
and people were epitomized during the 2003 military operation where he risked
his own royal life for us. He single handedly brought in all rounded
development to our nation in keeping with the ideals of GNH which he is the architect.
We enjoyed unprecedented peace and harmony coupled with economic growth and
social development during his reign. His
reign also saw enormous increase in enrolment both in formal and non- formal
education with concomitant increase in number of educational institutes. The
reform of education taken up during his reign is now changing the landscape of
education in Bhutan. Bhutan has came long way and there was a sea changes for
good during his reign. We owe too much to His Majesty the 4th King.
On this
auspicious day, I offer my sincere prayers for his good health.
