DHARAMSHALA: The Central Tibetan Administration today launched ‘Tibet Corps’ to provide opportunities to Tibetan professionals and university students to serve their community through voluntary service programme.   
 
Launching the programme at the Kashag Secretariat, Tibet Corps Director Kaydor Aukatsang said: “Tibet Corps offers talented civic-minded Tibetan professionals and university students an opportunity and platform to serve their community through a voluntary service program initially involving the Central Tibetan Administration and eventually selected Tibetan NGOs (TiNGOs).”  
 
He said the overall goal is to mobilise professionals in the exiled Tibetan community as a skilled voluntary workforce and create a knowledge community that would support the development of a vibrant, resilient and stronger Tibetan movement, poised to serve Tibet and Tibetans for generations.
 
Speaking on the selection process, he said, “Dhang-shab-pas (renderers of service) would be drawn from a large and diverse pool of working and retired professionals and university students. They would be then assigned clearly defined and needed role as required by a CTA department or entity affiliated with it.”
