Kalimpong: Tibetan Language Preservation Committee in Kalimpong observed the celebration of Tibetan calligraphy day on Sunday as part of the committee’s commitment to the preservation of the Tibetan language and culture.
The settlement officer of Kalimpong was invited to deliver a keynote address where he reiterated seizing the opportunity to preserve the Tibetan national identity that is vehemently annihilated by the Chinese government inside Tibet.
The Kalimpong’s Tibetan Language Preservation Committee was formed in 2019 following advice from His Holiness the Dalai Lama during long life offered to His Holiness by the Tibetans from Kalimpong, Darjeeling, and Gangtok.
The committee consists of 7 members including school teachers, representatives from three provinces, representative of Gangjong Tibetan Performing Arts and a representative from monasteries.
Since the Tibetans are spread over in different places and the children are studying in native places, therefore, Gangjong Tibetan Performing Arts have been organising various events to promote and preserve the Tibetan language and culture. This committee would support and help Gangjong Tibetan Performing Arts in carrying out the events with the same goals.
