Entrepreneurial Journey Competition

As part of the 115th National Day celebration, Economic Development Unit of the Dzongkhag Administration of Wangdue Prodrang organized an Entrepreneurship Journey Competition for the existing entrepreneurs based in Wangdue aligned with this year’s National Day Theme ‘Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship’. The aim of this program was to promote the entrepreneurship culture in the Dzongkhag, appreciate and celebrate the existing entrepreneurs and provide them a digital platform to promote their products. 

The entrepreneurs were allowed to express their entrepreneurial journey (product/service, motivation, challenges and achievements) through a 3 minute video. The entries were assessed based on their expression, inspiration and creativity used in making the video. 
A total of 10 entrepreneurs participated in the competition and the top three entries were awarded cash prizes and certificates of merit and certificates of participation for all the participants by Dasho Dzongdag during the National Day celebration. 

The top three entries of the competition are as follows:
1. Jeewan Baral- The Mugwort Solution 
2. Trashi Yangzom- KDY Production
3. Tshering Delkar- Sunflower Seed Oil

We plan to provide various platforms in future as well to encourage all the aspiring entrepreneurs to take up entrepreneurship as a career option.

The Dzongkhag Administration would like to thank Entrepreneurship Promotion Division, MoLHR for the collaboration and support.
