The CTA, mainly through the assistance of the Government of India and various international voluntary organizations, has successfully settled Tibetan refugees in 14 major and 8 minor agricultural centers, 21 agro-industrial settlements and 10 handicraft centers throughout India and Nepal. There are also 83 Tibetan schools in India, Nepal and Bhutan with approximate 23,000 children currently enrolled.
More than 117 monasteries have been re-established in exile; also a number of institutions, including the Tibetan Medical and Astrological Institute, the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives, the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts, the Center for Tibetan Arts and Crafts – all based in Dharamsala, the Central Institute for Higher Tibetan Studies in Sarnath and Tibet House in New Delhi. These institutions help to preserve and promote an ancient heritage and culture facing its end in its own homeland.
