 Dr. Tsewang Motup, Principal flagged the absence of any accountant in the College which was making it difficult for the College to frame their proposals. Secretary asked the faculty to fill in the post so that the infrastructure development in the College goes hand-in-hand with the development of academic capacity in the young College.
