Ladakh TCV Alumni Association

Tibetan SOS Children's Village School, Choglamsar

The Tibetan settlement in Ladakh in the 70's was the most remote and least developed of all the Tibetan communities in exile. His Holiness the Dalai Lama was deeply concerned about their future, particularly the fate of the children. In order to alleviate their poor condition, a plan was implemented to provide education and introduce sustainable development programmes in that region. With an initial seed money of Rs.10,000 from His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama and land donated by the local Indian government, TCV set out to build a children's village in Choglamsar, outskirts of Leh town in Ladakh in 1975. Today TCV Ladakh is a thriving SOS village with its own school and other facilities. The school includes classes from nursery through grade ten, after which students can join other TCV branches for further education.
