CHENGA PENJOR's JOURNEY

 

With my Bum Baby Thayeden, When you are old enough, I fear you asking me why I was not there at that time when you need me with you. You may be awestruck as to why I am not visiting you too often. Baby, I miss you a lot every single day. I yearn to hold you always but the distance of us does part us. I am told by Ani that you miss me always and do enquire about me. I wish to help you freshen up in the morning, prepare your breakfast, dress you up in your uniform and drop you at school.

A rare moment with Dasho JMD, MHPA To all the alumni of MHPA, JMD was known as a legend who built Mangdechhu Project. He is the only Bhutanese who stands from inception till completion of the project at the Management level which caters all the decision-making body. He fought for the Bhutanese and made to recruit more Bhutanese Engineers. He has given more opportunities to the Bhutanese to explore all of the engineering fields in building this mega asset of Bhutan. He got a clear vision of venturing this project to a greater height in the world and the aim was realized when MHPA was recognized with the Brunel Award by the UK-based Institute of Civil Engineers Institution (IEC) in London in the year 2020. It became clear to the engineering world and made it possible to have commissioned the project within the stipulated time and within the budget.
