Department of Security
The primary responsibility of the Department of Security is to ensure
the security of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. The Department has a
Branch Security Office which arranges public audiences with His
Holiness the Dalai Lama and helps Tibetan refugees in seeking renewal
of their refugee registration certificates from the Government of
India. The Department also runs a research unit to monitor developments
in Tibet and China.
In addition, the Department of Security runs three Reception Centres to
look after the growing number of new refugees arriving from Tibet. The
refugees usually arrive first in Nepal, from where they make their way
to Dharamsala and other Tibetan communities via Delhi. There are branch
reception centres in Kathmandu and Delhi, where new refugees are given
food and lodging, and guided to their onward destinations. The
Reception Centre also helps the new refugees to find jobs, join schools
and monasteries.
