If you could change one thing for Bhutan’s tomorrow, what would it be?

This was how a conversation moderated by The Druk journal began on 29th April, 2026 that brought together 166 Pelsups to talk about Bhutan's future.

Participants discussed rising healthcare costs, care for elderly citiznes, youth migration, and the need for more business opportunities. Each voice added to the bigger picture of how Bhutan is changing. Speakers shared ideas on seeing migration as a chance to grow, on building community‑based healthcare, and creating better support for entrepreneurs. These issues are all connected and particiapnts realise that they must be solved together. This conversation was a reminder that culture, identity, and youth aspirations are central to Bhutan’s future. Every generation has a role, and every idea matters.
