Earlier on 28 March 2022, the Department of Education, CTA arranged a farewell ceremony to honour and facilitate the staff of CTSA HQ for the great service rendered them over the last six decades. At the farewell ceremony, Education Kalon said that the vision of His Holiness the Dalai Lama was to provide quality modern education and preserve the rich Tibetan language, culture and tradition at the same time. The vision became the mission of the Govt. of India and established separate schools for the Tibetan children in exile. Thus, over the last six decades, CTSA has educated thousands of Tibetan children who are now serving in different departments of CTA, and all over the world.
