12 November 2018, Gasa:
Yesterday, the celebration of the Birth Anniversary of The Drukgyel Zhigpa concluded with a gala dinner attended by about 200 staff. The evening kicked off with everyone in chorus singing the “Happy Birthday Song” to wish His Majesty. Palden Drukpa Gyalo! Wangchuck Dynasty Gyalo!
Seizing the opportunity of the very auspicious occasion, we also congratulated Mr Tandin Dorji with Tashi Khadar on his special promotion received from the Golden Throne.
Tandin Dorji , 37 years old with a wife and 5 children is from Betshaling, Jomotshangka, Lauri Gewog, Samdrupjongkhar. He started to work in Gasa Dzongkhag as Jaling Phugmi under General Support Personnel (contract) since August 2007. Then in April 2016, Dzongkhag had assigned him an additional task to manage the Tshachu complex on a temporary basis when the incumbent manager got transferred out. However, within few months he had exhibited exemplary performance far beyond his qualification and position, so administration continued his service as offtg. Manager of Tshachu. After a year, he further proved high level of commitment, dedication, and hard work. In fact, the job requires someone at a degree and officer level, but he performed outstandingly well. This job at Tshachu requires the incumbent to be an all-rounder, viz. manager, plumber, electrician, wet and dry sweeper, housekeeping, cook, driver, law and order and has no weekends nor working hours. A textbook example of multi-tasking. The incumbent is supposed to be on duty all 24 hours 7 days a week.
Therefore, in recognition of his outstanding performance, living up to the expectations of the job, the Dzongkhag awarded him the Annual Good To Great Gasa Award at the National Day celebration in 2016. He is one of the first 3 recipients of the inaugural edition of the Annual GGG Award - which is today the most prestigious Award at the Dzongkhag level. Thereafter in early 2018, Dzongkhag submitted a recommendation to RCSC requesting for regularisation of his appointment and which was further submitted to the Office of the Gyalpoi Zimpon and finally granted the Royal Soelra Promotion upgrading his position to S5 A (regular).
Dzongkhag believes that - his case could be a possible role model for what a Great Civil Servant” should be.
Congratulations to Tandin Dorji !
