Project Dantak was raised in May 1961 at Samdrup Jongkar in Eastern
Bhutan. A humble beginning was made in bamboo huts and thatched
roofs. Since then Project Dantak has not looked back. It has
contributed to economic growth of Bhutan by not only developing roads and
tele-communication net works but also other prestigious works throughout
Bhutan. Over the years, Project Dantak has constructed 1500 Km of roads,
airfield at Paro and Yangphula, number of helipads, tele-communication net work
in Bhutan, Indo-Bhutan Microwave link, Bhutan Broadcasting Station, the
prestigious India House Complex, Chukha Hydel Housing Complex, Hydel
Sub-stations, river training works, Schools and Colleges. The list of
accomplishments is endless and in the coming years it is hoped that works like
Infrastructure for Kurichu Hydel Project, Dungsum Cement Plant and Tala Hydel
Poject will be added.
Today Dantak is a household
name in Bhutan. It has carved a niche in this beautiful foreign country with
the goodwill of citizens of Bhutan, Royal patronage of His Majesty, the King of
Bhutan and the support of the Indian Embassy in Bhutan.
The contribution of Dantak can be best summed up by the following
quotes:-
“Dantak can very well be proud of their achievements, they have a major
share in the development of Bhutan. During my recent visit to New Delhi, I told
the PM that Dantak was your best Ambassador”
- HIS MAJESTY, THE KING OF BHUTAN (1981)
