25th July, 2026
The Dzongkhag School Sports Meet (DSSM) concluded successfully today, with the closing ceremony graced by Dasho Dzongdag as the Chief Guest.
The two-day sporting event brought together 240 student-athletes from 11 Middle Secondary Schools (MSS) and Higher Secondary Schools (HSS) across the Dzongkhag, providing a platform to promote sportsmanship, teamwork, discipline, and healthy competition.
Congratulations to Dungtse Central School for emerging as the Overall Champion, and to Bartsham Central School for securing the Runners-up title.
In Dasho’s closing address, Dasho emphasized that while the Royal Government provides stipends to support students’ education and ensure their nutritional needs are met, students must also take personal responsibility for maintaining their physical fitness through active participation in sports and other physical activities. Dasho further encouraged students to strive for academic excellence, highlighting that top-performing students will have the opportunity to participate in educational excursions sponsored by the Dzongkhag Administration, including domestic air travel to Thimphu and Paro, with the return journey via Bumthang.
The Dzongkhag extends its heartfelt congratulations to all the winners, participants, coaches, officials, and members of the organizing committee for their dedication and commitment in making the 2026 Dzongkhag School Sports Meet a memorable and successful event. The event was hosted by Rangjung Central School.
