Nyima (who has only one name), 24, is a third-year law student at the CMR School of Legal Studies in Bangalore, India. He is also President of the Global Tibetan Students Union.

Speaking to Tibet Sun, Nyima said, “You have to have dreams, and if you are committed to your goals, and if you have the determination, you can do it.”

He urged the parents and the public to support this event in the future. “It is an important platform for the youth to show their talents and do something for their own country.”

Nyima was born in Tibet, and came to India in 2007. He attended TCV School Suja. He is 6’2″ tall.
