Since 1960 the government has been establishing schools in the Tibetan and English languages for all Tibetan children living in India.
Tibetan children living in Nepal often study in India.
The TCV is primarily residential. They study a curriculum approved by the Indian government that includes the Tibetan language and arts. Many are children of destitute parents and pay nothing for their education. Support for the schools comes from many sources within India and abroad. There are several schools affiliated with TCV in Tibetan settlements throughout India.
