In 1968, its new editor Mr Tenzing Ngawang Takla, changed its name to Tibetan Review, its official name since the January 1968 edition.  
  
  In 1971, due to the financial difficulties, it forced the Tibetan Review to request the Tibetan exile government for help. The exiled Tibetan government established a new department called the Information Office, where Tibetan Review and Sheja (Tibetan language journal) were put together in one building in Dharamshala, H.P., India.
  In 1972, Mr Tenzing Namgyal Tethong became its new editor and he took the responsibility with Mr Tamdin D Gyalpo, working as an executive editor. Mr Tethong edited the journal till June 1972.
  Dawa Norbu in June 1972 assumed the responsibility of the Tibetan Review. Before taking its responsibilities and moving its office to 16 Jor Bagh, New Delhi, he secured guarantee from the exiled Tibetan government to have editorial independence.
  Tsering Wangyal, who was known as "Editor", took the responsibility from Dawa Norbu in October 1976. For a brief interim while Mr Wangyal went to the US for an internship offered by the Alfred Friendly Press Fellowship Mr Lhasang Tsering took charge of the Tibetan Review as an Acting Editor from May-Dec 1986.In September 1996 Mr Wangyal left the institution. 
  Pema Thinley is the current editor of the Tibetan Review since 1996.
  Tibetan Review was started as a private initiative of Lodi Gyari however, due to lack of funds it was taken under the exile Tibetan government setup in 1971.
  Over the years, due to the editorially independent, it became inconsistent with the exiled Tibetan government policies which led to the subject of criticism, especially by the Tibetan parliament in exile.
  In April 1999 the Tibetan Review set up Tibetan Review Trust Society and went back to non-governmental funded institution.
