Issues and Constraints
Recommendation
1. Unable to get participation of competent
bidders for construction works in the
Dzongkhag
2. Inadequate engineers to carry out 10 th FYP
activities in the Dzongkhag/Gewogs.
3. Skill developments/training necessary for
the engineers in the different fields (bridges,
RWSS, Farm roads, SPBD and HIDP
Designs.
Government to consider revising Bhutan
Schedule Rate (BSR) as per the Annual Cost
Index to attract contractors.
MoWHS to provide additional engineers to
Dzongkhags where development activities are
gaining momentum from 10 th FYP. Ministry
also needs to send substitute engineers to
Dzongkhag for those who are on long-term
studies.
MoWHS should build the competency of
Dzongkhag engineers in different fields.

4. Developmental activities cannot be commenced
without acquiring the thram for the proposed sites.
Process of acquiring thram is a very ‘slow
process’, thus delaying in the implementation of
development activities due to delay in providing
substitute lands to the owners.
5. Frequent damages of farm/feeder roads during
monsoon season adversely hamper the
implementation of development activities and
providing other communication services in the
Dzongkhag.
6. Lengthy bureaucratic procedures in obtaining
timber permits for renovations/restorations of
Lhakhangs even after obtaining the prior approval
from department of Culture/MoHCA delays
restoration work.
There is need to reduce the time gap between
Dzongkhag’s survey reports and the approval of
Land Commission in granting the substitute land
acquired for development purpose and also thram
for government acquired land.
Government may review this issue with the
Ministry of Agriculture for consideration of 1 set
of excavator to the Dzongkhag before the onset of
next monsoon season as promised by MoA earlier
to ease the communication services in the
Dzongkhag and implementation of development
activities.
For the renovation/restoration of Lhakhangs
already approved by the MoHCA/DoC based on
approved designs need not process for timber
permits second time from MoHCA to avoid waste
of time and resources.

7. Annual Budget Ceiling (Resource
Allocation) not in line the actual population
of the Dzongkhag. As per our annual census
report 2009, total population of Dagana
Annual census report of the Dzongkhag/Ministry versus
NSB projection report (PHCB 2005) needs to be
revisited by government to ensure fair allocation of
budget to Dzongkhag.
Dzongkhag is 29385, whereas NSB’s (PHCB
2005) report has only 25000 which is being
considered as the basis for 70% of resource
allocation to Dzongkhag.
8. DT resolutions submitted to DLG
(MoHCA) for guidance, support and to
liaison with other agencies for
implementation of various programs as
DLG to facilitate Dzongkhag in implementing the
programs as per the DT resolutions by providing timely
feedbacks and necessary support Dzongkhag including
coordination with other agencies.
endorsed by DT don’t receive any
response/feedback from DLG.
9.Lack of response from the DDM on the
disaster report submitted by the Dzongkhag
DDM need to provide response to the reports submitted
by Dzongkhag

10. Technical problems beyond the capacity
of Dzongkhag ICT officer coupled with
frequent power disruption for internet
facilities adversely affect the online based
services
DIT need to provide prompt technical
support services to Dzongkhag until ICT
officer is trained to handle the equipments
11. The Public transport buses from Dagana
to Thimphu is too old to ply and is very
risky for the passengers
12. Man power shortage in Dzongkhag
environment sector
RASTA to conduct thorough inspection of
the buses and propose safer public transport
buses.
Dzongkhag environment office is manned
by a single person and not able to render
timely services. So, NEC may recruit
additional officer to large and remote
Dzongkhag.

Thank You
