The Bhutanese Leading the way.
His Majesty The King granted an Audience to the participants of the 17th Golden Youth Award (GYA), an annual flagship programme of the Bhutan Youth Development Fund (YDF) on 21 March 2025.
The week-long programme, held from March 17 to 23 in Thimphu, brings together 80 students—two boys and two girls from each Dzongkhag.
The GYA was initiated in 2005 by Her Majesty Gyalyum Tseyring Pem Wangchuck. It serves as a platform to nurture young leaders, with the recipient of the Golden Youth Award each year being granted scholarships to prestigious schools worldwide.
