Improvements of food and nutrition: The monastery provides pure vegetarian food to all the monks. However, due to shortage of funds, the menu is quite poor and we are unable to adequate balanced diets consisting of fruits and variety of vegetables. Even though the lunch and dinner menu is quite ok, however the breakfast menu is very poor and there is a need to improve it. Therefore, we are proposing to improve food and nutrition particularly the menu of breakfast for the monks. We would like to add: cheese, fruits, milks, eggs and porridge in addition to already existing Tibetan bread

 Improvement of monks’ education: Since the monks live in 21st century, it is highly important for them to attain modern education so that they can interact and live at equal terms with other civilized members of the community in this modern era. The monks receive mainly spiritual and monastic education about traditional Tibetan Buddhism along with day-to-day spiritual rituals and practice. However, it becomes increasingly important to impart modern education to the monks for their overall holistic development. Therefore, We are planning to upgrade and strengthen the existing school to up to class 12. We plan to formulate a relevant curriculum for the school along with recruitment of 6 qualified teachers, establishment of library and computer laboratory along       with other necessary facilities. The monks would receive certificates of passing exams from the school after the completion of their studies.

Recreational and creative learning program for the monks: Since the monks have to spend long hours in prayers and spiritual practice, it is very important to develop recreational and creative learning activities for them so that they can be more refreshed to carry on their monastic responsibilities. The proposed project would include organizing of sport events like football and basketball along with badminton within the monastery campus. However, the monastery doesn’t have sport’s materials and infrastructure to carry on these activities. The proposed project would work towards development and maintenance of a playground, procurement of football, basketball and badminton rackets along with Tshirts for the monks to wear during these activities. In addition,  the monastery would build a collection of educational and documentary films on Tibet, which will be shown to monks during the weekends. The project would also purchase Buddhism and Dalai Lama books for the monks to read during free time. Forever, the project would encourage monks to engage in creative witing and drawings by providing them relevant materials like pen, paper, watercolors etc.

 Repair and maintenance of dormitories: Most of the dormitories where monks stay have been constructed many years ago without proper planning and hence they are in poor condition. There are problems of cracks in walls along with drainage of water inside the rooms from the roofs. Therefore, we are planning to repair the old dormitories of the monks to solve these problems. In addition, we would build concrete boundaries around the dormitories along with fenced structures for drying of clothes outside the dormitory.

Provision of medical support to monks: Almost all of the monks belong to poor family backgrounds. Most of the young monks belong to remote Himalayan region. Either they are very far away from their parents or their parents are quite poor. Due to these reasons, they are unable to afford their medical expenses when they get sick. In addition, due to shortage of medical funds, the monastery is unable to pay for their medical expenses in specialized hospitals.

Promotion of environmental cleanliness and sanitation in the monastery campus: Healthy and clean environment of the monastery is essential for peace and wellbeing of the monks. Therefore, the proposed project would work towards various environmental related issues in the monastery like planting of trees, construction of underground garbage pits, procurement of waste bins, segregation of degradable and non degradable wastes, and organizing environmental cleanliness events once a week.
