Long explanation:
The structure '~도록 하다 [dorok hada]' generally conveys the meaning 'to make sure or see to it that something happens'. It is often used when a speaker is in a socially superior position and instructs or orders someone to act in a certain way or achieve a specific condition or state. It also implies that the speaker has control over the situation.
