With much appreciation I write to you all. I
appreciate for you are undergoing training for construction management to
become site supervisor. Bhutan needs better skilled and educated manpower in
construction sector. Not many of us like blue collar jobs neither we want to
grab an opportunity and work. With the mission to get trained with better
attitude of manual works and overcome the hardship, it is in you that I have
seen the vision blooming to serve for the better cause of nation.
Not many days back I used to come wearing smile and
hope for the day in your class. The joy that comes through dedication and
integrity of my instruction and the aspiration to make you all learn whatever I
taught makes our period every day. I hope the same shall be continued with the
new instructor in my absence.
Not many of you like my style of conducting test
after coverage of every new topic. I have done enough research before I make
the decision. Many graduated trainees don’t know the basics of what you are
supposing to know when you are at site. With the mission to enhance teaching
and learning the field and practical oriented subjects, and with the vision to
institute the competitive model to measure the performance of trainees I have
decided to conduct test after coverage of every new topic. I am pleased that my
idea was well received.

With student trainees |
I am happy with the hard work you all have put in
to understand the technical content of the teaching within short duration. Moreover
it is proven in the examination. I convey my deep message to keep it up the
spirit.
One day the class abounded with laughter. It was
when I read the funny answer. When the question clearly says to enlist the
characteristics of good timber, how someone can confidently write a point, it
gives good smile! Such simple spelling mistakes were common. Instead of smile
it should be smell - vast difference between smile and smell. It was indeed a
good lesson and learning for me and you. Again it was nice to see many of you
don’t make such silly blunders in future tests and reports.
I was completely shocked to hear the news. It was breaking
news for all of us, undeniably for the institute and nation as a whole. It was
I who reminded you all to control drinking. One day I remember I cautioned few
of you to be careful after drinking liquor. It was misfortunate for him and disgrace
for all of us. When the law intervenes, we are same in front of law and he will
be charged for involuntary manslaughter. For rest of you, I warn you to be
extra careful henceforth.
Unfortunately I have to leave as I have been
selected for RCSC. It is with sadness that I leave a role where we have worked
with such fantastic and supportive team and trainees. I have really enjoyed the
teaching and challenges in the job.
For your information, I have selected to work with
Ministry of Work and Human Settlement and placed under Department of Road. Tomorrow
I will get appointment letter and probably I will be joining office by 10th
January after orientation programme.
I’d like to extend a huge thanks to you, the rest
of the management team and trainees for all you have done for me over the last
one month.
Please feel free to get in touch should you require
information henceforth.
I wish all the trainees best of luck in every
endeavor you take ahead. Hope to work
with you all in future. Happy New Year and TASHI
DELEK!!
Yours sincerely
