Award of Goen Ta

12/Jul/2016

Coinciding with the closing ceremony of the seventh session of the second Parliament on 7th July 2016, His Majesty the King awarded the six female Parliament members with "Goen Ta", a symbol of responsibility, equivalent to the "Patang". It is a reflection of His Majesty's far reaching vision of gender equality. NCWC would like congratulate our Chairperson (Lyonpo Dorji Choden) and the other esteemed recipients.
