Major Reformations springs from His Majesty’s compassionate core; a promising move towards a secured future for the citizens.
His Majesty, The People’s King of Bhutan displayed the purest form compassion and concern for the citizens through the Royal Address at the opening ceremony of the 8th session of the parliament on November 4, 2022.
His Majesty planted hopes and dreams for the Bhutanese people.
Many were shown the light, leading towards a brighter and secure future for every individual filled with happiness and prosperity.
His Majesty narrated a real-life story of a 27-year-old woman, Karma Dechen, an anecdote to half of the Bhutanese population struggling on a daily basis to sustain life.
The King who travels length and breadth of the nation also explores all nooks and corners of the town, grants audience to the people from all walks of life. 
Recently, His Majesty met the young mother of a four-year-old son, working in one of the coffee cafés in the town for a monthly salary of Nu 12,500 with her husband who doesn’t have a secure job. 
The small family sustained life with the minimal amount they earned, of which more than half of their monthly income (Nu 7,500) is paid as a rent for their tiny, one-bedroom. With the remaining Nu 4,500 in their hand, affording a decent livelihood in Thimphu town is beyond questionable situation.
Similarly, His Majesty also interacted with youth living in Thimphu and learnt the harsh and astonishing realities at the ground.
 “However, the ongoing national efforts for transformation gives me hope. For the first time since I became King 16 years ago, I see a new dawn over the horizon. There is a perceptible difference in our efforts this time. There has been a shift in attitudes towards work, and a greater sense of concern, seriousness and urgency, even as we tackle the increasing volume of work,” said His Majesty The King.
 Like Karma Dechen, Bhutan has thousand more youth with skills and talents, hopes and dreams. 
The rising inflation and cost of living leaves many Bhutanese vulnerable to the bitter realities of life. 
While a few gives up on their dream to work and earn, gets involved in some criminal activities to make fast money to live their dreams whilst young, some chose a hard and long way to live a decent life.
Whilst reformations are taking place, promising a secured future to every hardworking and dedicated citizen with the willingness to upskill or level up and advance in what one does, the Bhutanese people will no longer have to plant their dreams and hopes in foreign land like Australia, Canada, United States of America or the gulf nations.
When every Bhutanese becomes financially stable, owns a shelter, has a consistent and sufficient income flow, Bhutan then becomes a dream place for every individual. 
The certain portion of society living on with some desperate measures in place is every responsible citizen duty. The gap between the haves and have nots certainly need to be filled.
The policies and acts on human resources and tenancy act, along with some business acts should also be discussed.
