His Majesty The King launched Pelsung — Guardians of Prosperity — on the 7th October, 2025. Pelsung is a new national initiative empowering Bhutanese youth to shape the future of Gelephu Mindfulness City and strengthen Bhutan’s nation-building efforts.

As the third group of volunteers began their work in Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC), His Majesty King Jigme announced the launch of Pelsung, meaning “Guardians of Prosperity”. The new national initiative aims to empower Bhutanese youth to develop creative and practical solutions for the GMC, envisioned as Bhutan’s city of the future. His Majesty described Pelsung as the third pillar of nation-building, joining Desuung (Guardians of Peace) and Gyalsung in strengthening the country’s foundations.

“For a small population, every single person matters, and these programmes are intended to empower our people, to build harmony and the capacity to work together. As His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo said in the 1974 Coronation Address, our collective efforts will have far greater impact than the concerted efforts of a few,” His Majesty said.
