CSO (Civil Society Organization) is often described as the fundamental pillar of democracy and is recognized as a space outside of government and business where citizens associate and organize themselves to address and take care of the areas of societal interests. The 3rd Year Sociology Political Science students of RTC joined with other stakeholder organizations to take part in a day’s event hosted by BCMD (Bhutan Center for Media and Democracy) in Thimphu at the Terma Linca Spa and Resorts.  Seen here are the students with their Faculty and the Executive Director of BCMD. The event was highly educational where the students also presented posters towards the inquiries and theme, “As a non-CSO member, what do you know of civil society? How has civil society contributed to Bhutan’s progress?” The discussions were very relevant to a Political Science module, PS302 Media and NGO. Besides, sharing a common platform and engaging in the general discussions with other participants in itself was a great learning experience for our young students. The Royal Thimphu College also partners with BCMD with its student lead ‘Media Club’ activities, besides these kinds of regular events.
