On January 14, 2026, the Haa Dzongkhag Administration convened its Mid-Year Budget Review Meeting for the 2025–2026 Fiscal Year. The session was presided over by the newly appointed Dasho Dzongdag, marking a significant milestone in the current fiscal calendar. The meeting brought together all sectoral heads to evaluate the district’s developmental trajectory and ensure that administrative goals remain aligned with national priorities.
The proceedings began with a comprehensive presentation by the Planning Officer, who provided a detailed overview of the overall budgetary health and financial performance of the Dzongkhag. This presentation was not limited to fiscal figures but also meticulously detailed the physical progress of various sectoral activities. By comparing financial disbursements against actual ground-level achievements, the administration was able to identify high-performing sectors and those requiring additional support or intervention.
A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to strategic fiscal adjustments. Participants engaged in critical discussions regarding budget re-appropriation, focusing on the optimization of resources to address emerging needs. Furthermore, the meeting addressed the surrender of activities—identifying projects that, due to unforeseen constraints, may not be feasible within the current cycle. This process ensures that funds are not left idle but are instead redirected or returned in accordance with financial regulations to maintain high standards of accountability.
In his closing remarks, the Dasho Dzongdag emphasized that this review serves as a vital platform for strengthening inter-departmental coordination. By fostering transparency and collective responsibility, the Haa Dzongkhag Administration aims to ensure the timely and effective implementation of all planned activities, ultimately enhancing the socio-economic welfare of the community.
