<!-- <font class="content">Posted on Saturday, January 09 @ 03:56:52 EST by <a href="http://">chencho</a></font> &#8211;><br />
<a href="http://www.kuenselonline.com/modules.php?name=News&amp;new_topic=1"><img src="http://www.kuenselonline.com/themes/NukeNews/images/topics/phpnuke.gif" alt="home" title="home" align="right" border="0" hspace="10" vspace="10" /></a> <font class="content"><em>Govt. hopeful graduates will do better for Genpact interview in January</em></font>   <font class="content"><strong>9 January, 2010 - </strong>The government’s plan to build a Bhutanese IT workforce in the next three years received yet another setback, when only two graduates were selected by Infosys, a multinational IT services company recently.</p>
<p>Infosys was in the country on a recruitment drive in December on the request of the government. About 140 graduates registered for the job and 34 were shortlisted, but most of them did not meet the company’s criteria, according to labour ministry officials. A programme officer for human resources, Tenzin Choden, said that two female graduates, with bachelor’s degrees in computer application, were selected.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">This was the government’s second unsuccessful attempt to send young Bhutanese to work for IT companies outside the country. The government plans to send 2,350 graduates to train and work in IT companies in India, as part of building a Bhutanese IT workforce in the next three years.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">The first attempt had failed to take off when Infosys facility in Mysore, along with Indian business processes outsourcing company, Genpact, offered graduates 37 jobs in September 2009. </font></p>
<p><font class="content">Only 9 accepted, because most of them chose to take their chances at securing a government job instead.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">This time, it was different, said labour ministry officials, who facilitated the recruitment process. The interview was in December, after the civil service examination was over and results announced. Representatives of Infosys were in Thimphu last month to conduct the selection interview on December 24 and 25. </font></p>
<p><font class="content">Labour officials said that graduates were graded on their numeracy, analytical, written and communication skills and also on an aptitude test. “The feedback we received was that Bhutanese graduates have good written skills, but require numeracy and analytical skills,” said a labour official. </font></p>
<p><font class="content">There will, however, be another round of interviews at the end of this month with Genpact India, according to Tenzin Choden. “They’ll recruit at least 50 graduates,” she said. Genpact has signed an agreement with the labour ministry in June 2009 to employ 200 gradates every year to work in operations centres in India. </font></p>
<p><font class="content">“Graduates will learn from the recent interview experience and hopefully begin their preparation for the January interview,” said Tenzin Choden. </font></p>
<p><font class="content">The government had also selected 100 graduates to undergo a month-long training at Infosys India in June 2009. </font></p>
<p><font class="content">Another labour official said that the pool of selection for the January interview would be bigger. “With only eight IT jobs available in the government this year and 126 IT graduates appearing for the civil service exams, opportunities within the government are limited. They’ll have to explore options,” he said. He said that the government’s plan is to see these selected graduates return once the IT park in Thimphu is completed, bringing with them experience and expertise.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">To be established in mid-2011, the IT park is estimated to directly employ 700 Bhutanese at the managerial capacity.(courtesy: Kuenselonline)</font></p>

</strong></em> <!-- <font class="content">Posted on Friday, January 08 @ 01:30:13 EST by <a href="http://">chencho</a></font> &#8211;> <font class="content"><strong><font color="#cc0000">Domestic Airports</font> 8 January, 2010 - </strong> The Gelephu domestic airport will start operations from June 2011, according to the Mckinsey’s milestone plan for civil aviation endorsed by the government and not December 2010, as stated in the government executive order.<br />
The master plan for Gelephu airport should be developed by June 2010 and by September this year, the department of civil aviation (DCA) should have acquired the land and paid compensation to land owners. This is according to the milestone plan, which was signed between the DCA the ministry of information and communications on December 9 last year. </font></p>
<p><font class="content">“The milestone plan will precede the executive order,” said the DCA director general, Phala Dorji.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">The Gelephu airport has provisions to be expanded into an international airport, said DCA officials. “We’re looking at having an instrument landing system (ILS) where flights can land at night, unlike Paro,” said the aerodrome officer with DCA, Sangay Wangdi. “To have that we need a huge amount of land.”</font></p>
<p><font class="content">Sangay Wangdi said that the Indian airport authority team, who had earlier visited the area, had recommended 840 acres for an international airport.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">The DCA is still working on networking routes between the domestic airports and the international airports in Guwahati and Bagdora in India. “It’s something new to us and we don’t want to rush,” said DCA’s director general. “This is because a domestic airport won’t have facilities like immigration and customs and no domestic airports are connected to international airports. You have to come to Paro for international flights.”</font></p>
<p><font class="content">He said that Bhutan might have to use Guwahati’s and Bagdora’s facilities if it is to connect a domestic airport to an international airport. “It’s practiced in Europe but we can’t take it for granted that it’ll work here,” said Phapa Dorji. “So we’re still exploring, keeping in mind the legalities.”</font></p>
<p><font class="content">Meanwhile, construction of the terminal building and repair work on the airstrip in Yonphula, Trashigang, will begin from January 25, said Phala Dorji. “There’s already an airstrip so what we need is power and water supply and a small terminal building,” he said. The Nu 11.2 mn project has been awarded to Kuenleg construction enterprise private limited, a firm based in Phuentsholing. The project is to be completed by May 2010.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">Yonphula should be commissioned and operational by December 2010, according to the milestone plan. </font></p>
<p><font class="content">In Bumthang, around 30 to 40 acres of land has been identified in Barpalathang for the domestic airport. While the master plan for this airport is ready, DCA officials said that cadastral survey and cost estimates are yet to be done. Swedavia, an international civil aviation Swedish consultancy firm, does each master plan, which takes about two months. </font></p>
<p><font class="content">Officials said the airport in Bumthang would not displace as many people as in Gelephu, since more than 90 percent of the airport land is government owned. “But we might take about 20 to 30 decimal of private land in the southern side of the airport to divert the river,” said Sangay Wangdi. </font></p>
<p><font class="content">The Bumthang airport, which will soon see the installation of meteorological equipment, would comprise of an airstrip of 1,200 m, an apron, a taxiway and a terminal building. By March this year, land should be acquired and demarcated and airport construction, tendered out according to the plan and operations, should begin by December.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">DCA has come up with three small aircraft that could be used for domestic flights. They are the Dornier 228, which Druk Air first flew when it started, the Beechcraft 200 and the Pilatus PC-12. “The Dornier has a capacity of 13-19 passengers, while the other two can fly between seven to nine passengers at a time,” said the aerodrome officer, Sangay Wangdi.</font></p>
<p><font class="content">The feasibility study on helicopter services was to be completed by December 2009, according to the executive order. Phala Dorji said that Bhutan already has a feasibility study on chopper services since 1992. “With the airports coming up, we decided to combine the helicopter and aircraft services,” he said. “Whoever expresses interest in providing aircraft services can also provide chopper services.” </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"> The textiles and handicrafts of Bhutan can be used as a decorative piece as they are one in a million and very colourful. The materials can be used as bed covers or wall hangings or even as decorative table and sofa covers.</p>
<p align="left">The Bhutan Handicrafts and Arts industry had till recently been a cottage Industry.With Textile Industry the Rural people weave the materials. The weaving is done by the Rural villagers but they have now been trained to cater to people outside their villages and take up this weaving professionally and make it their means of earning a livelihood,rather than weaving as a hobby. Thus now we have a variety of weaving been done,with different materials and designs. Every design is different as all these materials are hand woven singularly.</p>
<p>They weave bed covers, table cloth, jacket materials,wall hangings etc&#8230; The materials used are all naturally dyed in different colours and are mostly silk,cotton or a mixture of the two. It would be a pride to possess one of these materials,as they are lovely,unique,one in a million and the sale proceeds help the women of Rural Bhutan.</p>
<p>The Textile industry in Bhutan is one of the main Handicrafts of BHUTAN. Usually the Guest and Tourists visiting Bhutan love the woven materials and they even wear them for the festivals in Bhutan,and take it back with them as a souvenir from Bhutan as they well know that they will never find another similar piece any where else in the world.</p>
<p>With the Bhutansese people  some of these woven materials(handicrafts) are passed on from generations, since each piece is unique,with the years going by, each piece becomes more precious and soon becomes valueless&#8230;</p>
