Intensive Workshops for Local Legislatures
Over 100 incumbent members of 17 Local Tibetan Assemblies have been trained in a series of Intensive Workshop on the Functioning of Local Assembly organised by the Tibetan Parliamentary and Policy Research Centre (TPPRC).
The Local Assemblies are a scale-down replica of the Assembly of Tibetan People’s Deputies (ATPD), the highest legislative organ of the CTA. Local Assemblies make laws concerning their respective settlements and monitor the works of their settlement officers.
The TPPRC organised three workshops back-to-back in Dekyling from 2-7 July, Bir, 10-15 July, and Mundgod, 22-27 July. The workshops imparted procedure of the house, financial accountability and other functions of a parliament.
The Delhi-based TPPRC is a non-profit NGO, which aims to assist the ATPD on policy matters, undertake research projects and political awareness programmes for the exile Tibetans, and disseminate information and knowledge about the situation of Tibetans to the international community.
