In the Spotlight
The incumbent Kalon Tripa, Prof. Samdhong Rinpoche, Prime Minister for the Tibetan government-in-exile, will end his term in office in August 2011. Although this date is some years away, it is the opportune moment to begin our search for upcoming candidates. We have three years to find a worthy leader. It would be irresponsible to put off a search for candidates any later, as this period affords us just enough time to proceed. To wait any longer would be to court disaster.

An independent organization, with a written constitution and its own plans and programs, TYC has emerged as the largest and most active non-governmental organization of Tibetans in exile. We havemore than 20,000 members worldwide.
From its very inception, TYC emerged as an active force with clear aims and objectives. It also served as a catalyst to bring out certain reforms and changes within the Tibetan community so as to enhance the development of truly democratic society. TYC therefore, sees itself as an instrument to fulfill the wishes of the Tibetan people.
