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.
122 Tibetan families in the Kollegal Tibetan settlement in Karnataka in south India have been allocated Record of Tenancy Certificates (RTC). The land they have been farming since 1976 is now leased to the Central Tibetan Relief Committee, giving the tenants security and the right to apply for grants and subsidies from the Indian government, as well as sublease the land. This move follows a long campaign.
