DHARAMSHALA,
October 28: Over forty Tibetan settlement officers across India, Nepal
and Bhutan gathered today for Ninth Tibetan Settlement Officers’ annual
meeting at the exile headquarter of Dharamshala.
The inaugural function of four-day meeting was attended among others by Tibetan Prime Minister Dr. Lobsang Sangay, Home Minister Dolma Gyari, other cabinet members and secretaries of various departments of the Tibetan government in exile (known officially as the Central Tibetan Administration).
Tibetan PM Sangay lauded the works and achievements of the Tibetan settlement officers and appealed them to continue their hard work. The meeting is organized by the exile government's department of home.
He also noted that the main purpose of this meeting is to review the challanges that the settlements have faced and evaluate the outcome of the past.
“The vision and hard work of His Holiness and the elder generation has sustained the Tibetan movement and settlements till now. Following their footsteps, we hope to strengthen the efforts of the Central Tibetan Administration and the Tibetan settlement offices, through such annual meetings, to create a robust Tibetan community.”
Tibetan Home Minister Dolma Gyari said, “It is important to analyze poverty with transparency and by following certain rules and regulations, but if we failed to do our work because of these rules and regulations, then the rules and regulations proved to be useless.”
She also added that red tapism still exists despite the positive developments in the settlements urging the bureaucrats to work hard for the Tibetan people.
The agenda for this year’s meeting include deliberations on the proposed budget of Central Tibetan Relief Committee (CTRC), Tibetan population growth, prevention of encroachment on lands provided to the Tibetan community by the Indian government, and discussions on how to create a self-reliant society.
There are more than 70 Tibetan settlements in India, Nepal and Bhutan under the Department of Home of Tibetan government in exile. It is responsible for all the rehabilitation schemes for the Tibetans in exile.
