Drujeygang

The resemblance between Drujegang and my hometown is striking, encompassing aspects such as lifestyle, cultivation practices, and crop varieties. However, the complexity of the population in this area surpasses that of my hometown, with a diverse mix of origins. The languages spoken vary, including Khengkha, Lotsamkha, and even some Ngalop. The fertility of the soil here is somewhat lacking, resulting in a scarcity of readily available vegetables.

Upon our arrival, equipped with lodging essentials but not food supplies, we had optimistic expectations of finding all we needed. Yet, reality hit us hard – the cost of living here is notably high, and even worse, the essential items we require are scarcely accessible. The local staff informed us that they must travel all the way to Damphu to procure vegetables. In our group of eight, which included four of us and the overseeing examiner, we collectively decided to utilize the school kitchen for our meals. Collaboratively, we gathered the necessary ingredients and entrusted one of the cooks to prepare our meals. At the conclusion, we compensated him with a sum of Nu. 1500/-. Conversely, three of our companions opted for private arrangements.

A significant event unfolded on the 28th of November at DHSS, marked by a farewell bonfire in honor of the departing classes X and XII. We were graciously included in this event, relishing the farewell proceedings featuring various programs and a shared dinner.

The morning of November 30th witnessed the principal extending a warm welcome to the external examiners during the assembly. The overseeing examiner introduced the invigilators and briefed the students on the examination protocols and guidelines outlined by BCSEA. Expressing well-wishes for the students' successful completion of the exams, the overseeing examiner concluded the briefing. Notably, the student body consisted of 134 class X students and 34 students from the 12th Commerce stream.
