RTC professor Mr. Sanjeev Mehta received with PBS Award

After nearly three decades of service to education, an Indian scholar, Sanjeev Mehta, who teaches economics at Bhutan’s Royal Thimphu College, was given the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman Award by India’s President Droupadi Murmu. According to Bhutan Live, Sanjeev Mehta got the Pravasi Bharatiya Samman award on January 10, 2023. This award is the highest honour conferred on overseas Indians. He plans to continue his work in Bhutan, which he sees as an opportunity to improve the education system in the country and to represent the work done by Indian teachers. The prize was established in 2003 and is given out every two years. 27 people received the honour this year. Mehta stated, “I will play every part in this puzzle and do everything in my power to realise His Majesty’s vision.” This honour is clearly not the result of my own efforts. This honour is a testament to the job that Indian educators have accomplished in Bhutan. “Perhaps that is what I represent.” Sanjeev began his work in 1993 with the Sherubtse College before joining the United Nations Development Programme and contributing to the formulation of Bhutan’s economic development strategy.
