This paper explores how Tibetan Refugees in India and Nepal achieve this in an institutionalised manner. Tibetan Schools, Tibetan Children’s Villages (TCV), Higher education facilities such as Dalai Lama Institute, Vocational Training Centres, Youth hostel and other polices by Tibetan Government in Exile is examined to understand the dynamics of educating and rooting refugees in culture and arming them for adaptation in host country.
