The objective of the scheme is to give the Chundu Armed Forces Public School students, which is in the Haa district, the chance to compete in sport alongside their academic studies.

It is believed that this aspiration will transform the school into a sports talent development centre for young student athletes as the three organisations also seek to add other sports to the initiative.

BOC secretary general Sonam Karma Tshering added that beyond ensuring students are given a different opportunity to excel, it will assist National Federations in developing youthful talent in the country.

The BOC has remarked that 14 young boxers have enrolled for the 2022 academic year.

Colonel Riniz Dorjin, the President of the Bhutan Boxing Federation, said: "Bhutanese youth everywhere excelled in sports at the school level but were unable to build upon that at national and international level.

"With the introduction of this project into the Bhutanese school system and the clear development pathway provided, the Federation is confident that many of these students will go on to represent and win medals for our country."
