I don't know who had quoted the quotation but I can vividly remember the famous saying that little drop of water makes the mighty ocean. Similar with that one, Mother Teresa had also quoted "We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But ocean would be less because of that missing drop". Let us look at the world of ants. The ant has given us very vital message that little by little, the ant makes it's colony a thousand times than it's size. Then why not one Ngultrum can make difference in our society?
With above embedded quotations and example, we have many questions to be asked ourselves following above statement. Help me to answer my questions;
Who is using our one Ngultrum note seriously?
Why can't we carry Nu. 1 note, is it too heavy, is it too value less? Is it worth full to give back candy, chocolate, chewing gum or other thing in place of Nu.1? If we want to chew a chewing gum, why can't you pay you different note?
Why are we not bother balance Nu. 1 when we are recharging 99 or 299 net package and give Nu. 100 and Nu.300 respectively. Who has refused to give Nu. 100 for 99 data package? For instance, didn't you notice that if you recharge 99 net package for 100 time, you will get another one 99 package free.
Why most of the books have psychological price such as 299, 1999 and so on. Why can't you give Nu.1 to beggar when you keep your Nu.1 somewhere without care?
Let us make the society knows the important of small thing. Why ticket counter are reluctant to give back changes below Nu.4. Nu. 1 will make difference. Are American people throwing one dollar or keeping one note without use? One note of currency will have its own value at their own community.
Who will use Nu.1 note, if Bhutanese don't use it?
Is it sign of economic development? Or Is it because of inflation rate ? Is Nu.1 only meant for using for offering (Nyendar)?
According to Kuensel news which dated back to May 13, 2016, the purchasing power of the Ngultrum is decreasing yearly. As per the report, Nu.100 in March 2016 would fetch goods and services worth of Nu.81 in December 2012. What will we see in next five to ten years? Why can't we take part ourselves about inflation and rising economy?
When the government of the day is talking about no child left behind without basic education, let us admit ourselves to discuss no money note should left behind. If we keep above questions in our mind, we will know the value of small things in our life. To answer some problem to certain extent, the initiative was initiated recently by one of the guy named Jigme, graduate student of Royal Thimphu College and his team came up with initiative called one Ngultrum initiative. One of their goal is to make circulation of one Ngultrum note in Bhutanese Economy. According to initiative Facebook page, "One Ngultrum initiative is a project to create awareness on importance of one Ngultrum in the society". I am here just to appreciate and give little push for their effort. Dear readers, don't understand me differently, I am neither economic student nor aspiring entrepreneurs but youth who is just pouring out thoughts from thoughtlessness situation. It is just my expression on such topic.
Let us not make Nu.1 value less but useful.
