History
editIn order to oversee and support Indian schools for the education of Tibetan refugee children, the Indian government formed the, Tibetan Schools Society, now known as the Central Tibetan Schools Administration in 1961 at the request of the 14th Dalai Lama. This independent organisation is governed by the Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development.[3][4]
The administration operates 71 schools across India with around 10,000 students.[5] It employs 554 teaching staff and 239 non-teaching staff.
Plans have previously been announced to transfer responsibility for the schools to the Central Tibetan Administration.[6]
