Sherubtse College shines with history that made
every Bhutanese proud of it. It produced leaders in various fields and those
individuals contributed to the development of our country. Years laters, new
enthusiastic students took interest in what we call as “filming and movie
making” field. The impact was major. Students wanted to showcase their talents;
they believed that knowledge provided in classroom was not the only knowledge
to be gained.
