Ms. Sangay Lhamo, Asst. Research officer

Philosophy of work:

To get my job done without procrastination, judgement and flaws so that my service benefit all. I believe in the importance of personal relationship among the colleagues so that a comfort zone is maintained to approach one another anytime, anywhere. I believe that “My responsibility should rather be a shell to tortoise than a load to donkey”; my job is like a limb of my body, and as I carry it along, it is my home in which I rest and feel secure. A profession is not just our income, it is a life companion with which we grow wise. I am enthusiastic to gain new knowledge and innovate ideas for greater impact. I believe that one can always go beyond one’s responsibility and explore the world so that one does not die with the same single title but holds different titles from different individuals living around you.
