July 16: Bhutan Broadcasting Service (BBS) launched its Dzongkha website. You can now log on to www.bbs.com.bt/dzongkha for news in the national language. You do not have to install Dzongkha font in your computers to browse the website. Apart from news, both local and international, the website contains zakar, calendar, and a public article column. The website was inaugurated by the Secretary of Legal, Political and Cultural Affairs of the Cabinet Secretariat, Dasho Tashi Phuntshog. He is also the Chairman of the BBS Board of Directors. Kinga Penjor, a Dzongkha producer with the organization, said other features will be added to the website in future. This includes putting Zakar on yearly basis which will enable people to check Zakar for the whole year. The public will also be able to email dedications for request shows on BBS Radio. The website is dedicated to the centenary celebrations and the coronation of His Majesty the King. It is expected to be of immense help to grassroots leaders, religious personalities and Bhutanese who are Dzongkha literate. It also aims to contribute towards Dzongkha promotion in schools and institutions. Kinga Penjor said the website will also prove useful for the Bhutanese studying or working abroad.
