STS Chauntra

STS Chauntra Secondary School

Sambhota Tibetan School Chauntra is located in Mandi District in the state of Himachal Pradesh. It was founded by TIRS on 26th September 1978 to provide elementary education to the children of Tibetan community in Chauntra. Later on, the CTSA provided its support to the school.

Initially the school had classes from KG to class III. A number of donors have provided financial support for the construction of classrooms, staff quarters and purchase of furniture in the school. The school was brought under the administration of the Department of Education in 1980 and it is being administered and managed by the Sambhota Tibetan Schools Society Dharamshala under the direction of DoE, Central Tibetan Administration and was upgraded to class V.

The school was later upgraded to Middle school i.e., up to class VIII. It was formally inaugurated by H. H. the fourteenth Dalai Lama on 17th February 1981. Boarding facility was made available when a number of Tibetan children from Tuting (a far flung place in the north east of India) started joining the school in 1998. Till date the school has received four batches of children from the area. As such, most of the children of the school are from Tuting. The school at present is a secondary school with class X as the highest.
