DHARAMSHALA, Mar. 23: The United States Congress has earmarked 17 million USD spending bill in the 2018 fiscal year, for Tibetans inside occupied Tibet and Tibetan community in exile spread across the Indian subcontinent. The move comes as a welcome development for the exile Tibetan community’s largest concentration here in India and its virtual capital in Dharamshala where the exiled Tibetan government known as the Central Tibetan Administration, is based since the last almost six decades.
The bill includes $8 million for Tibetans inside Tibet and $6 Million for Tibetan community in India and Nepal, in addition to a new line of funding of $3 million to strengthen the capacity of Tibetan institutions and governance in exile, the central Tibetan Administration run Tibet.net said on Friday.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 of the US government pledged $8,000,000, “made available to non-governmental organizations to support activities which preserve cultural traditions and promote sustainable development, education, and environmental conservation in Tibetan communities in the Tibet Autonomous Region and in other Tibetan communities in China,” under the heading ‘‘Economic Support Fund’’ and $6,000,000 “for programs to promote and preserve Tibetan culture, development, and the resilience of Tibetan communities in India and Nepal, and to assist in the education and development of the next generation of Tibetan leaders from such communities”. The Act also approved “not less than $3,000,000 shall be made available for programs to strengthen the capacity of Tibetan institutions and governance.”
In May 2017, US President Trump proposed zero aid in 2018 to the Tibetans, overturning the long held American policy of providing financial assistance to the community for safeguarding their unique identity that has since been in threat under communist Chinese rule. The Trump administration at the time said he wanted other countries to take over.
The United States government appropriates funds to the exile Tibetan community through initiatives such as the “economic support fund” beginning 2002 as well through affiliates such as US Agency for International Development (USAID) and National Endowment for Democracy (NED).
