Story Overview

What this conversation explores.

After dedicating almost three decades of his life to serving Bhutan, much of it as a District Livestock Officer, Mr. Dorji Dukpa made the difficult decision to leave his homeland and come to Australia on a scholarship.

Throughout his long career, he played a meaningful role in the development of Bhutan’s livestock sector, contributing to initiatives that helped strengthen and promote livestock products. His years of public service reflected his commitment, dedication and passion for serving the people and the country.

But behind the decision to leave Bhutan was a deeply personal and difficult reality, serious financial challenges that compelled him to seek a different path in Australia, despite having devoted almost 30 years to the country he served.

After working hard and building a new life in Australia for more than a decade, Mr. Dorji Dukpa now looks towards home once again. His aspiration is to return to Bhutan and use his experience, knowledge and abilities to contribute to the country in whatever way he can.
