Solar Dryer Competition For Engineering Students (CST)
The solar dryer competition held at the College of Science and Technology (CST), Phuntsholing, on the 1st and the 2nd of June, was a huge success. The judges had a difficult time choosing the winners as all the students had done a great job with each solar dryer prototype. The judging panel chose four best entries instead of three from 21 prototypes, based on criteria such as: Efficiency, Affordability, Originality, Transportability, Ease of use, Marketability, Presentation and Materials used. The best prototypes will be further tested and feedback from both the user communities as well as manufacturing units will be sought.

The 2013 Annual Restorative Surgery Camp in coordination with the Ministry of Health & Surgicorp International. This year, a total of 50 procedures were carried out from the 106 patients who turned up for the screening process. Majority of the cases were of Hare Lip & Cleft Palate. Patients came from all twenty Dzongkhags & the majorities were from the remote communities of the Eastern Dzongkhags. Besides the surgery, a knee injection was also carried out for those with knee problems. A total of 165 senior citizens received this injection.
Although not a permanent solution, this helps heal the knee ache for almost a year. We were told that a similar service is also available at the JDWNRH, so for those who want to avail of this service should visit the hospital in Thimphu.
