Papers by DK Bhujel
The first democratically elected government was formed by the DPT in July 2008 after its landslide victory with forty-five out of forty-seven seats in the parliament.
Under the new government, the country saw numerous changes and developments but not without errors.
The paper is an attempt to capture some of the actions of the government, that received criticism along with non-actions of the government in few places.
The country with an open border policy and free trade agreement with India has made it increasingly dependent on agricultural imports from India. In 2012 alone Bhutan imported food items worth Nu. 4,936.59 million from India, which included rice, cooking oil, vegetables, meat, fish, butter, cheese, milk and other milk products.
Today, the country is gearing towards self-sufficiency in terms of agricultural produce, but has not been sufficient. The sector is faced with numerous challenges.
Recognizing the challenges that affect the agricultural sector, it is crucial for the government to further intervene. Such interventions can come in the form of linking rural producers to urban market and other institutions, increasing public investment in agricultural sector, making rural credit and micro finance easily accessible to the farmers and mitigating human wildlife conflicts. Encouraging the use of Information technology in agricultural marketing and further strengthen farmers cooperatives will go a long way in mitigation the challenges.
