Phase II of DSP-Solar Project Expansion!

Following the successful completion of Phase I of the 750 kW Solar Project, the DSP-Solar Initiative is moving forward with Phase II. This next phase involves ramping up our solar infrastructure with the installation of a 2.1MW ground-mounted PV system at Dechencholing, Thimphu, a 1.5MW rooftop solar PV system at The Royal Academy in Pangbisa, Paro, and an additional 250 kW rooftop solar PV system at CFM, Thimphu. We've chosen the top-of-the-line 580Wp TopCon AE Solar panels for these installations due to their superior efficiency and cutting-edge technology.

To mark this milestone, we held an inaugural ceremony on 19 March 2024 for the installation of panels at Dechencholing and CFM. Dasho Bharat Tamang, Chairperson of DSP Solar Initiatives, led the event, joined by Col. Sisir Chetteri (De-suung HQ), the Project Implementation Team, Liaison Officer, and 44 De-suups.

On the joyous occasion of the 4th Birth Anniversary of His Royal Highness Gyalsey Ugyen Wangchuck, the De-suung Skilling Programme (DSP) offers our heartfelt prayers and best wishes for his highness’s long life, good health & happiness.

Happy Birthday, Your Royal Highness!

DSP in 'Introduction to Robotics' commenced on 15 March at the DSP Training Centre, Gyalposhing, Mongar.

Total of 15 De-suups who have undergone ICT Foundation and digital literacy program will be undergoing the course for duration of 4 months. Mr. Lui Woei Wen from Singapore is the expert trainer with De-suup Tshering Phuntsho as Assistant Trainer.

The DSP in Developing Communications concluded today. The Desuups underwent an intensive six weeks training to improve their grammer and vocabulary, writing skills, and communication.

The 27 Desuups said that they gained a lot of confidence from the training, they were able to articulate their thoughts and present for different scenarios using power points, infographics, short stories as well as prepare for job interviews.

Hon'ble Kesang Chuki Dorjee congratulated the Desuups and awarded the certificates.

She also met with the newly launched Soft Toy Making that is being conducted by two Thai expert trainers, Ms.Mullika Songkhoa

Ms.Chittraporn Udomkantrong.

Over the next two months, Desuups will learn basic tailoring skills and learn how to produce a variety of soft toys from local and waste materials.

On March 5th, 2024, the DSP in Digital Fabrication course concluded after a month-long session at Choego Fablab, Thimphu.

With 17 De-suups participating, the program was led by trainers De-suup Karma Lhakee and De-suup Ugyen Lhamo. De-suups honed their skills in various digital fabrication techniques, encompassing basic electronics, 3D printing, CNC machining, laser cutting, engraving, and vinyl cutting.

At the closing ceremony, De-suup trainees showcased and demonstrated four prototype projects: 1. Solar Tracker (change in inclination to maximize power generation); 2. Road safety project (alert system in dangerous curves), 3. Smart blind Assistance device project (detects objects in its pathway), and 4. Smart Parking project (parking management system to improve parking efficiency). The DSP Solar team was also in attendance during the closing ceremony.
