Fields of study, so called "Sub-Program" and "Component", correspond to and deal with the target Priority Areas for the social and economic development of Bhutan.
The participants of JDS shall be selected from the "Target Groups" whose mission is closely related to the respective "Sub-Program" and "Component".
