Abstract
This paper makes an attempt to follow the evolution and changing role of the university from its beginnings to the present day. It looks at the function of the university as an instrument of national and social development as a preserver, creator and disseminator of knowledge. The attempt then is to put the establishment of the Royal University of Bhutan in context and see its role as a vehicle for the furtherance of the ideal of gross national happiness.
