Welcome !
On behalf of the staff and management of Renewable Natural Resources Research Centre (RNR-RC), Jakar; I wish to extend warm welcome to our website.

RNR-RC, Jakar is one of the Regional Research Centre under the Council for RNR Research of Bhutan. We are located at 2650m, amsl in Bumthang (central Bhutan), one of the most beautiful and tourist valley in the kingdom.

The national mandate of RNR-RC, Jakar is to coordinate Livestock Research Programme in the country. At the regional level, we are responsible for research in all areas of RNR sector (Livestock, Forestry, Horticulture, Field Crops, Farming Systems, Research Communication) in the 4 east central districts (Bumthang, Trongsa, Zhemgang and Sarpang).

Creation of this website is a modest effort made to disseminate on-line what RC Jakar has been doing and is doing. Besides information on the activity description and work plan, published articles in pdf version from the different sectors can also be accessed.

We hope that you find our website useful and interesting. This being a very first effort, we would appreciate receiving feed back to improve the page. Efforts will be made to update this website on regular basis.

We wish to thank Mr. Andras Darbant, CORET scientist who initially put together the contents for this website and recently to Mr. Sangay Tenzin, ICT officer, ICS, MoA for making this final version possible.

We wish you happy and interesting browsing.
