Her Royal Highness Ashi Kesang Choden Wangchuck (2007)
In
the course of His Majesty King Khesar's many tours around the country,
His Majesty has granted kidu to the most vulnerable sections of society
including, among many others, the disabled, aged, destitute and also students
needing financial aid to attend school. In order to ensure the effective
delivery of such kidu to the beneficiaries, His Majesty has instructed
Their Royal Highnesses the Princesses to constantly travel and work in
various dzongkhags. While Ashi Sonam Dechan Wangchuck is based in Thimphu,
Ashi Dechen Yangzom Wangchuck lives in Mongar and Ashi Kesang Choden Wangchuck in Bumthang. |

Their
Royal Highnesses live with the people in order to evaluate and monitor
welfare kidu programmes for destitute individuals and students, both from
the perspective of improving the well being of the recipient as well as
the system as a whole. Their Highnesses undertake regular visits to remote
villages in all gewogs in the dzongkhags in order to interact with the
youth and rural communities on behalf of His Majesty.
Most
recently, HRH Ashi Sonam Dechan conveyed His Majesty's kidu of community
land to the people of Beldrok, while HRH Ashi Dechen Yangzom travelled
to
Merak Sakteng and
other areas in
Trashigang and is presently in
Lhuentse. HRH
Ashi Kesang Choden has returned from Sarpang, where she oversaw
the allocation of land granted as kidu to households, who had lost their
lands in the floods of 2004. She will now tour
Trongsa.
