Since the illegal Chinese occupation of Tibet in 1959, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and over 130,000 Tibetans have fled in search of political, religious, educational and other basic freedoms. Upon coming into exile, one of the Dalai Lama's highest priorities was to provide care and education facilities for the Tibetan refugee children, many of whom were orphaned and destitute.

SAMBHOTA TIBETAN SCHOOLS SOCIETY (STSS) was set up by the Department of Education (CTA) on 16th June 1999 to look after a group of Tibetan schools in India and Bhutan. The head office of STSS is located at Gangchen Kyshong, Dharamsala, H.P. (Northern India).
