US funds for Tibetans in India, Nepal

New Delhi, December 30

The US budget-2023, passed by the Congress last week, has a provision of USD 11 million for the Tibetan Government-in-Exile and Tibetan communities living in India and Nepal. The budget has made available “not less than $8,000,000” for programmes to promote and preserve Tibetan culture and language for Tibetan communities residing in India and Nepal and “not less than $3,000,000” for programmes to strengthen the capacity of the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA).

The support for the CTA or the Tibetan Government-in-Exile will be administered by USAID which has been asked to consider a housing project in India for the Tibetan refugees. The Donald Trump administration had for the first time directly provided funds to the Tibetan Government-in-Exile based in India and USAID had then committed USD 1 million to the Social and Resources Development Fund (SARD Fund).
