This initiative, launched by the Department of Livestock at the beginning of the 2025โ2026 financial year, represents an important step toward strengthening livestock data management and digitization.
The three-day training program, conducted from 18 to 20 August 2025 under the leadership of the Dzongkhag Livestock Officer and the Dzongkhag Livestock Production Officer, with technical support from the Department, is designed to equip GLS with the knowledge and skills necessary to operate the system effectively. As the first point of contact in the field, GLS play a crucial role in working directly with farmers, guiding them through the registration process, and ensuring that farms are systematically registered in the system.
Dasho Dzongdag of Samdrupjongkhar graced the opening and emphasized that the system will ease the work of GLS, improve efficiency, and ensure uniformity in livestock data management. She highlighted the importance of reliable data, farmer sensitization, and the consistent effort of system users to ensure its success. She further noted that the system will serve as a monitoring tool, promote standardized livestock practices, and advance the national goal of digitization.

In the months ahead, the Department will roll out similar training programs in phases, beginning with six major Dzongkhags: Samdrupjongkhar, Dagana, Tsirang, Sarpang, Samtse, and Chhukha, which together account for the largest concentration of farms. The remaining Dzongkhags will follow. ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฑ, ๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป ๐ด๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฝ๐ถ๐ด ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐๐น๐๐ฟ๐ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐บ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐๐ป๐๐ฟ๐ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฏ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ, ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ต๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ฏ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ณ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ.
