RAVANGLA: Addressing Tibetans in Kunphenling settlement in Ravangla in Sikkim on Sunday, Sikyong Dr. Lobsang Sangay underscored the need to channel our efforts to education to realize the full potential and aspirations of the Tibetan people.
The Sikyong spoke about the policies and works carried out by the 14th Kashag since the devolution of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s political authority to the elected leadership in 2011. He said the Middle-Way policy of the CTA for resolving the Tibet issue has been getting increasing support from the international community.
Sikyong said education is indispensible factor for sustaining and strengthening the Tibetan community and urged the parents to make education of their children a top priority. He urged students to study hard and to avail various scholarships offered by the education department of the Central Tibetan Administration.
He underlined the need to channel our efforts to education to realize the full potential and aspirations of the six million Tibetans. He urged Tibetans to maintain unity.
He said Tibetans should remain grateful to people and government of India for their magnanimity and support for the last more than 50 years in exile.
Sikyong said allegations of Dolgyal followers against His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the Central Tibetan Administration are completely baseless.
Following the public talk, Sikyong held a meeting with local Tibetan authorities.
Earlier in the day, Sikyong addressed students and faculty members at the National Institute of Technology Sikkim at their invitation. He said the purpose of the education is not only to earn livelihood, but also to serve the community.
