Contact is taking a holiday!

Contact is taking a break after 25 years of bringing you news of Tibet and Tibetan issues. We are celebrating our 25 years by bringing you the story of Contact and the people who have made it happen, and our archive is still there for you to access at any time, and below you can read the story of Contact, how it came into being and the wonderful reflections of the people who have made it happen over the years.

When and how Contact will re-emerge and evolve will be determined by those who become involved.

Land Ownership

November 5, 2015;

The Karnataka state government has implemented a new policy enabling Tibetan refugees to legally obtain land records with their names on it, for lands they have been cultivating for the past five decades. In addition, they will be eligible for loans, subsidies and other amenities previously availed only to Indian citizens. The land will be leased to the Central Tibetan Relief Committee which will allocate the records to individuals.
