Branch Sections

The Branch Sections placed under the DIIR are:

• Tibetan Computer Resource Centre (TCRC)

  The Centre's mission is to harness information technology to provide a medium of communication between the CTA and the Tibetan communities and rest of the world. TCRC initially (founded as the Common Publishing Centre) aimed to impart basic computer knowledge and desktop publishing skills to Tibetan youth. It was the first in Dharamsala with Internet facilities (1993). It manages the CTA's network it built in 1997, and now, also oversees the introduction of Internet in the Tibetan settlements in exile.

• Narthang Press

  Initially the Narthang Press was meant to publish the monthly Tibetan news bulletin, Sheja. However, over the years, it has expanded and today it prints, in addition to Sheja, Tibetan Freedom, Tibetan Bulletin (both English and Chinese) and all other publications of the DIIR and other departments and offices of the CTA.
