The Gyalsung Training 2024 program will be conducted for 3 months in two cohorts starting from September, for the first cohort and December for the second cohort. The Gyalsung Training Program is designed to impart discipline, knowledge and leadership skills and instill values to imbue in every cadet the distinctive watermarks of integrity, discipline, excellence, accountability and loyalty.
All Gyalsars – NS Cadets – will undergo Basic Military Training (BMT) to enhance their strength and fitness levels and participate in drills and other associated activities such as obstacle courses, weapon handling, etc. While the BMT will be conducted by the Royal Bhutan Army and courses on National Education will be conducted by specialists.
