Communications Sector IV. Development Programmes for the 7FYPIV. Development Programmes for the 7FYP Print and Broadcasting MediaPrint and Broadcasting Media 16.34 There were 6 hours of broadcasting at the end of the 6FYP. Transmission hours will be increased by one hour every year for the first four years of the plan. In the final year of the 7FYP, transmission hours will be increased by 2 hours. This will bring the total number of transmission hours to 12 hours every day. Dzongkha and English programmes will receive more broadcasting time, although greater airtime will be allotted to Sharchop and Lhotsham (Nepali) programmes. However, programme expansion in terms of airtime will have to be curtailed if it is not possible to develop the institutional capability of the BBS to a corresponding degree. The Bhutan Broadcasting Services will also distribute inexpensive radio sets at nominal costs in remote areas to promote radio listening. 16.35 Although the national weekly newspaper, Kuensel will continue to be produced on a weekly basis, the content and volume will be increased for all three editions. In terms of content, greater emphasis will be given to national news supplied by Kuensel's Dzongkhag stringers. Towards the latter half of the 7FYP, the Dzongkha edition will carry 20 pages, English editions 20 pages and Nepali editions will carry 12 pages. To provide for this proposed expansion, equipment for desk top publishing, photography sections, news library etc. will be acquired. 16.36 The construction of a Development Centre for the DSCD, for which designs have been prepared, will be undertaken if donor funding becomes available. Otherwise, there will be no major capital expenditures for the DSCD but the Division will continue to provide the usual services to agencies and private sector. Postal ServicesPostal Services 16.37 The speed and reliability of mail transport will be improved through the introduction of 10 mail vans in a phased manner. At present the Department uses passenger bus services operated by private transporters, in addition to Government runners in the more remote areas. The private bus services have serious drawbacks in that the bus owners' priority is carriage of passengers and goods, and this determines the bus schedules. In some areas the volume of mail is so great that private carriers are unable to transport all the mail. Thus the postal service is unreliable. In addition, the transport of mail bags is insecure as they are transported on the top of buses with other baggage and the mail often is damaged in transit. Expedited mail services and airmail services will be started at the beginning of 7FYP using Druk-Air services. Electronic mail services will be introduced in post offices where there is sufficient demand for such services. The capability of the Philatelic Unit will be enhanced to design, produce and market stamps and thus generate more revenue. Civil Wireless ServicesCivil Wireless Services 16.38 Until the telephone services are inter-connected and unified into a single network, the wireless services will remain the most important form of communication in Dzongkhags. An additional 5 wireless stations will be established and 40 sets of equipment will be replaced. TelecommunicationsTelecommunications 16.39 Work on microwave routes and exchanges will be carried out in the following order (see Map 16.1 Microwave Transmission Network): Route 1: Thimphu-Tongsa-Jakar-Mongar-Tashigang microwave link with exchanges at Tongsa, Jakar, Mongar and Tashigang Route 2: Tongsa-Shemgang-Geylegphug-Damphu microwave link with exchanges at Shemgang, Geylegphug and Damphu Route 3: Tashigang-Pema Gatshel-Samdrup Jongkhar microwave link with exchanges at Samdrup Jongkhar and Pema Gatshel Route 4: Thimphu-Paro-Haa-Chimakoti-Phuntsholing-Samchi microwave link with exchanges at Paro, Chimakoti, Haa, Phuntsholing and Samchi Route 5: Thimphu-Punakha-Wangdi microwave link with exchanges at Punakha and Wangdi. 16.40 The first three routes will be completed by 1994 and other routes by 1997. These five microwave routes will provide for transmission to 16 of the 18 Dzongkhags as well as the town of Phuntsholing. The two remaining 6
Communications Sector Dzongkhags -Dagana and Lhuntsi- will receive telecommunication connections by Digital Radio Concentrator System. 16.41 For an area which has less than 300 subscribers, services over carrier (SSOC/Digital Radio Concentrator System) will be established instead of digital exchanges (see Map 16.2 Telephone Switching Network). Therefore, 10 Dzongkhags will be served by Digital Radio Concentrator System. Consequently, the number of exchanges required will be reduced to 9 and these exchanges could be installed at Thimphu, Phuntsholing, Samchi, Paro, Tongsa, Geylegphug, Tashigang, Damphu and Samdrup Jongkhar. 7
