Dharamshala: Beginning today, over 100 students from various Tibetan schools in India belonging to class 11 are attending a week-long workshop on the evolution of Tibetan democracy and issues facing Tibet.
The workshop participants will be introduced to the seven departments of the Central Tibetan Administration and their offiteates. The students will be given a commentary on the structure and functioning of each department.
This introduction will be done in the hope that the students will obtain a higher appreciation of the principles of democracy and the selfless services provided by the Central Tibetan Administration to the Tibetan community in exile.
The workshop is an initiative of the Tibetan Parliamentary and Policy Research Centre (TPPRC) and it will go on till 27 December.
TPPRC is a Delhi-based unit of the Assembly of the Tibetan People’s Deputies.
