The Loden Student Bodhisattva Initiative is a pilot project that was launched in Ura Middle Secondary School and Jarkar Higher Secondary school in Bumthang. The programme was initiated to provide a platform for students to find creative solutions to local community problems and compete for a grant sponsored by Loden. Piloted by Loden’s founder in his alma maters of Jakar and Ura higher secondary schools, the programme provides small funds to help school students generate ideas to solve a local community problem, design a proposal, implement the project, and submit reports.
